Well, MFS will probably be faster but only because the buffer cache
is limited and write_behind clustering is the default, and only if you
have enough free memory to hold everything. Even so it usually
isn't a good idea to try to use MFS to speed things up because you
wind up double-caching the data. i.e. the data is in MFS's memory
and it is also separately cached by the VM system. It's usually a
big waste of memory.
