Scott, I'm quite aware of what noatime does ... you didn't miss a post, but
if you look at Mark's graphs on
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/HP_ProLiant_DL380_G5_Tuning_Guide
they pretty much all indicate that (unless I completely misinterpret the
meaning and purpose of the labels), independent of the file-system,
using noatime slows read/writes down (on average).
