Re: what filesystem type is fastest for wwwoffle ?

I've used it with both settings and tail seemed faster. I didn't explored why. 

Just my 2c: Maybe while fetching a page the related U* files and small D* 
files get stored into one block instead of various places in the tree across 
disk. When reading the same page later, fewer blocks thus need to be read. 
Another apps don't have this locality (set of inserted files = set of read 
files at a time) and benefit from notail instead.

Ask Hans ;o)
