Subject: [gentoo-user] {OT} zflashpoint for Linux? (SSD performance "accelerator")

Here is some info on zflashpoint:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=5163549
It is supposed to be an SSD performance "accelerator".
"Gen1 SSDs suffer with small file writes and I read that 90% of
Windows writes are small, so that introduces overall system lag.
zflashpoint uses a 32MB buffer for small file writes, combining them
and dumping them as one big write."
Has anyone heard of development of a similar project for Linux?
