I'm trying to speed up compiles on my system, and have found that harddisk write performance seems to be one of the bottlenecks (as the compiles write a lot of object files and associated debug information).
As I have lots of memory and can easily recreate the generated files if bad things happen, I wonder if it's possible to allow files to be written without any synchronisation. It is completely acceptable if files vanish or even have inconsistent data after a system crash, as I can recreate generated files easily.
