I just forgot to remove that warning. Removed now in v2.2 (not in v2.1, because people complain if I do unnecessary changes to example-config).

If FS supports it then let it do it. If it doesn't, sis is easier than sis-queue since it doesn't need a cronjob. Also I'm not sure if sis-queue makes the performance better or not (the idea being that it delays the slowness until night when it's more quiet).
