I ran the same build on ext4, xfs and btrfs for a week

Same machine, same source tree, same 400 builds. The filesystem was worth about four percent, and the page cache was worth everything else.

Worth adding that this changed in the last release, so older guides mislead.

I have been putting this off for a year. This is the push, thanks.
