Not as a general FS, but as a specific choice for $PORTAGE_TMPDIR it may |
| 10 |
be worth testing. XFS was designed for an environment that used temporary |
| 11 |
files that didn't need to be committed to disk, so its caching doesn't |
| 12 |
write to disk anywhere near as often. That means you would be working |
| 13 |
with files stored in RAM a lot of the time. |
