BFS + BFQ really helps… but only until you run a couple of VMware virtual machines. :(
With BFS and BFQ it result in incredible freezes, both in host OS and guest OSes, especially when some OSes does intensive I/O like installing updates etc.
Without BFS and BFQ freezes still happens, but they much less noticeable!
Probably only one of BFS and BFQ is responsible for such bad behavior, but I havn't tested them separately.
