Yes.
The problem comes when you have things in the cache (ie: a browser),
there's no disk I/O and you want it to render faster.
But no, i don't feel bad because my syslog isn't p3 optimized....
it'd be a waste of time for most of apps. But for some very general
libraries (ie: libc, qt/gtk/gnome, X) it's not a bad idea.
