I'm currently running FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE as a graphical desktop-type system, with X11 and GNOME. If you want to get an idea of what I use this system for, the main programs I run are vim, Firefox and xchat.
My question is: would ZFS be a superior filesystem for my purposes? I get the impression that it was primarily designed for servers, and that a (l)user like myself might not notice much difference in terms of system performance.
