i don't understand this.  your "worm" is magnetic disk, right?
why would you put the ssd in the slow half (the worm)
instead of the fast half (the cache)?

similarly, someone on this thread said they'd use ssd
for just the arenas (which are mostly linear access),
when if i had to make the choice i would use it for just
the index (which is mostly random access and would
benefit more from dropping the seek penalities).
