The FAQ says that this is for performance, but I really don't understand how storing files in the filesystem could result in quicker performance than storing those same messages in the database -- especially if that database can fit in RAM.

This is the first situation where the way FUDforum does something (or at least the default way it does it) seems wrong to me.

I keep seeing this banner ad for web performance load testing. I wonder if they could test it for me and tell me which way is faster.

Now let me go back on what I said. As I recall, phpBB2 had a cache and would store that in a filesystem... Hmmm...
