Id never entrust such important system files to third party file systems let alone one concidered beta.  if sfs corupts ya lose the ability boot and probably even access to the system files at all.  with ffs the only inconvenience is is an extra 30 seconds boot time while ffs repairs it self.

as long as ffs is setup as os35/39 wants it to be, you wont see a much, if any speedup anyway.

May as well say that about all files on ya drive, ,a quick backup and it becomes irelivent if the machine gets screwed.

as for stability, ffs has never lost a thing since the os35 update and sfs and pfs have hurt alot more people then ffs ever has sicne with ffs there is alot more then just pure luck to getting ya files back.

in my own tests, sfs gets very VERY slow when the partition fills up and becomes quite slow and usless when using lots of small files for say internet file cacheing.

ffs might not be new,updated super speedy or whatever,  but its far from bad when setup properly and much more relighable .

Just wait a few days, IBrowse Caching system will start to crawl under sfs, mark my words ;)
