#1.3 ?
Although 1.3's FFS does provide a much needed, and really noticable,
speed increase, most of the DISPERF's are quoting the read/write times with
the BUF value at 32K. The MORE telling figure is the 512 BYTE BUF stats.
Here the figures are MUCH slower (65-69K/sec on my Seagate 251 VS. 232K/sec
with the 32K BUF). The WHOLE system was much "snappier", but FEW things
will really attain that top speed. Programs load, for example, at a rate
lower than the MAX 512 BYTE rate. But still, it is a nice improvement.
