[Zope] ZODB performance via direct disk writes

[Itamar Shtull-Trauring]

Would there be any performance gain from having ZODB3 access a raw io device
instead of using a filesystem, as can be done in FreeBSD for example?  

Someone at the FreeBSD booth at Linuxworld said it might, while I heard Ted
T'so (one of the Linux ext2 developers) say that raw io access does not
actually speed things compared to going through the filesystem layer
(specifically he mentioned RDBMS).
