I've been quite happy with softupdates on my STABLE machines. I see the
biggest performance improvements in file extractions from tarballs.
Enabling softupdates on / is not recommended primarily because that
filesystem is not frequently written to. Another reason not to enable
softupdates on / is that you may not have enough free space to do a 'make
world' (softupdates delays the returning of empty space to the filesystem).
One final reason is possible increased risk.
