Is this still true?  As of release 5.3.2 Rev. D ESIX has been shipping
a version of The BSD FFS.  My experience with ESIX's FFS has been very
positive.  Though I have no experience with ISC's, I can assure you
that the FFS with ESIX Rev. D is noticably faster than is their
standard System V file system.
