#1.3 ?
Larry,
I ran some tests with MaxTransfer and settled on a value of 20000.
Diskperf has 4 read/write speed tests at the end – 512 bytes, 4K, 8K and 32K
bytes. MaxTransfers greater than 10000 only affected the last test (32K), the
rest (first 3 tests) were identical. MaxTransfer = 255 was the slowest, with a
max speed in the 32K test of about 85K/second.
My point was that the 512 byte test topped out at about 65/second – even
when the 32K test was showing 238K/second. And ACTUAL LOAD times were less than
the 65K/second. So the figures we've seen bandied about ARE a bit misleading.
But the system IS snappier with 1.3.
