Maybe I should share my ideas from the "old" adosfs.  I planned on making
a mount option flag saying that the adosfs should steal blocks from the
swap area building an ufs-like tree of indirect blocks on the fly in order
to cut down the access times for randomly accessed files.  I had other
thoughts as well on the performance tuning topic.  Does anybody want to
hack adosfs a bit, and like to see a higher performance, contact me and
I'll let you know my thoughts.
