I really can't answer that, but some notes: Always mount local file
systems with the options "noatime, nodevmtime" to reduce write
load.  Also, since you have network connectivity, you might consider
using nfs-mounted swap instead of swap space on the local CF card.
If you are using Wireless networking with IPSec, however, note that
nfs over ipsec is seriously broken in 1.6, see kern/18924.
