  bufdaemon shutdown speed is related to how many buffers need to cleaned
up.  Also, there was bugs in the general buffer handling in 4.2-RELEASE
that were fixed, and performance improved.  bufdaemon probably has a lot
more to do in 4.2-STABLE.  I don't really notice, since I never shutdown.

  I think so, because it doesn't seem like you follow this mailing list
too closely.  If you did, you know about the 4.2-RELEASE issues and what
has been done about them.
