Not especially.  Since I moved to 2.6.4 I haven't had any.  My backup
program copies tens of gigs from one disk to another, each copy having
at least two hard links.  That used to hammer response.

But my main box is an 3GHz 80686 / i875 / SATA.  I know there are
people using RP on 90MHz pentium ones, because I do occasionally.  I
figure if such a simple ploy can decrease latency, we should check it
out.
