If you ever want to tweak out your system for immesurable performance
differences, you can find plenty of help out there to do it.  But
things are really good nowadays for general work.

Word to the n00b - if you're going to be doing work that requires
low-latency, the time is much better spent figuring that maze out than
worrying about filesystem performance!

Heh - Christopher's comment is spot on.  Once you start hearing the
differences between minor changes, you'll get very good, very fast.

But just as in optimization - good recordings demand you not lose the
forest for the trees!
