I was bout to copy about 3000 RFCs onto my hard drive last night.
Bowsing them online was just too painfully slow.

Then I realized that although I had the disk space for the total file
size, they were mostly smaller than a block on my disk, so I was going
to loose alot of space.

My first thought was, well postgress would stor that as one file - that
might work. Then I thought "I'm trying to be FAST here -- any time spent
on this is a distraction. Too bad there is no such thing as
PostgreSQL/FS"

It's not earth shattering, and sure there are other solutions. But it's
cute and could be useful. Add some bugs and a few security compromises,
and it almost looks like M$.
