Re: Hmmmm.

What follows is a patch to 1.1.8 for a possible way to implement a helper
unlinkd. Someone just needs to put in the code that implements the
interprocess protocol...

>> #1. Something that's dead easy to do that'll give an immediate 20%
>> improvement on our box is to has a seperate process doing the
