Softupdates will outperform JFS's by a small margin 90% of the
time. Google for greg ganger. Go to his home page and read his paper's
section for a paper on Softupdates VS Journaling. SU has an edge over
JFS. There both trying to accomplish the same thing but I believe SU to be
a better technology.
