It's my understanding that if you have a decent SSD, write response times
can (under some workloads) degrade but never below the performance of even
a very fast rotating disk.

So, i've stopped worrying about things like TRIM and trying to avoid
writes. I'll align my partitions, but apart from that I just enjoy the
extremely low read response times, and my almost-always-quite-low write
response times. :)
