I totally agree. What ticks me off is people who claim that using BFS
means you must be schizophrenic, even though some of them posted
numbers. Even on servers, BFS helped people. For example, a server
running mainline was behaving badly until it was switched to BFS. The
difference was quite impressive:

But still, many people decide to keep the "you're imagining it"
attitude, as if they're preparing flame-bait.
