No, the FAQ is, "how can I increase performance". This would require an
article-length answer, with all the possible tweaks and their
disadvantages. "mount -x" is just one of the tweaks, and of course the
answer would have to detail what you gain and what you give up by using
it.

It's infrequent because most people just quietly tolerate Cygwin's
performance hit. If they knew it was possible to increase its
performance in certain circumstances, I think those same people would
then quietly begin tuning their systems.

Maybe we're disagreeing on location and form rather than content.
