I absolutely agree that SSDs are an option. Iit's definitely worth keeping as a possibility in the toolkit.

Not sure I'd be willing to stake the performance and availability of my system on a removeable device on an externally shared bus. Especially one that tends to be restricted to FAT.

But it's worth investigating. Especially if it speeds up the redo enough to delay using the async option of the commit statement.

The thing that worries me is simple: is it a problem resolution? or is it sweeping a problem under the rug, to fix later?
