With the latest patches in 2.6.23 it looks like the overhead
is just about zero, so I enabled it on the principle that we
basically enable everything we possibly can...

And I wish more people would look at using it for untrusted
code, e.g. a JPEG decoder could run in the "jail" and it
couldn't cause any harm even if someone managed to exploit
it.
