Also it's very hard to find out if notime breaks a use-case, because it in most won't cause applications to barf, but to silently "mis-behave". In best case, after some amount of time, he will notice that something won't work "as advertised". > The majority of people will see a performance boost they will appreciate > regardless of whether they know about atime or not.
