Yea, someone else I was talking with about this said the same thing.
I just can't get over the nagging feeling that (for the mail spool
directory) there ought to be something that is ultra-super-deluxe
fast that I should be using. :-)

OK, I've seen several mentions now of `softupdates', and I think that I
have a general (vague?) notion of what `softupdates' is all about, but
allow me to disaply my ignorance one more time and ask which man page
(or document) I should be looking at to learn all of the specifics
regarding `softupdates'. (I looked at `man tunefs' and I don't see
nuttin' there, so where exactly is/are `softupdates' documented?)
