Yes, especially considering the NFS segfault issues.

+0 for using a shorter description (we could replace some details with
   a "please read the manual" warning, like what we do with ServerRoot)

+1 for adding it to the performance notes also.  This is one of the many
   2.0 changes that need to be included in the performance notes.  Is there
   any plan to replace that document entirely, or is it safe to do 
incremental
   edits to it?
