I wasn't at the summit (I'm in Seattle), but somebody else may have  
mentioned it.

IO::AIO doesn't work on FreeBSD for reasons that appear to be  
FreeBSD's fault.  (So far as I can tell from discussions with the  
author of IO::AIO.)  Therefore Perlbal won't work and we needed to  
use NFS mode.

If the new lighttpd stuff can get rid of the need for Perlbal then I  
would be comfortable dropping NFS mode.
