Here's an interesting speed result for you demons out there.
When I run Devspeed on my 2091/Quantum 40, I get reads in
the 800-830k range, while my writes are in the 400-450k range.
Talk about a big difference.  The same program on a GVP/Segate
combination gets read/writes in the 650k range.  Oh, the
450k writes are on a freshly formatted partition as well.
