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: http://ck-hack.blogspot.com/2011/08/phoronix-revisits-bfs.html But still, many people decide to keep the "you're imagining it" attitude, as if they're preparing flame-bait.
