Are you going to do performance tests?

Finding out which one of UnionFS, cowloop and minifo:
http://www.denx.de/wiki/bin/view/Know/MiniFOHome

is the best performer would be very relevant when running multiple
instances in virtual machines!

Are you going to CC your results to the list? :-)

I read somewhere that unionfs has a 10% performance overhead when
using 2 filesystems and compiling a kernel.  Can't remember the
hardware or other details :-/.
