The writemap option is frequently recommended even under linux for performance tuning, although I'm not familiar enough with the underlying database implementation to know if even that at some point might require a UBC. Honestly, I don't really care too much about which database backend people use :), but I would really prefer not to have bdb statically compiled into the binary for users like myself that don't avail of it.
