If you're using a database then it shouldn't matter what meta data

tables.

Basically, SU and gjournal both provide for meta data consistency,
something that a database rarely needs as it rarely creates/deletes
files often.


I'm looking at this more from a performance standpoint.

Is there a performance advantage to using gjournal over a "normal" UFS/UFS2
filesystem with softupdates?

I think that SU will be faster, but that's just a semi-educated guess.
