Applications doing things like messing with DNS resolution are extremely suspect already.

Sheer volume of files stored on the disk may affect the directory seek times.
Seek times are not a factor on solid state media. Any application that could -cause- such a case would likely not make it out of devel. As the starter of this thread noted, he hadn't moved beyond extras. Everything else is up in the air as all bets are off with -devel.
