>On those assorted new tiny notebooks, like the most recently discussed
>Dell Mini 9, are people using SD cards for additional mass storage?

Yes, I have one in my Asus eee, and I plan on transferring it to my new Dell Mini 9 when it arrives.

>Is anyone anywhere testing the performance of various file systems on
>SD cards to see what gets the most performance for someone who leaves a
>16gig card always installed?

No, I only use it for additional storage, not for an OS install, and performance didn't seem exceptionally good or bad.

>I'm curious as to what the best practices are here.

I can't speak to best practices, only my (common) practices...
