Up to now I only had the chance to run this test under UNIX 3.2v2.
That's what I've got:

(macleod) 2 /  time dd if=/dev/rhd00 of=/dev/null bs=100k count=100
100+0 records in                                                  
100+0 records out                                                
0.0u 2.9s 0:13 22%

My vitals are: 12MB 33MHz 386 (32K Cache); WREN 766MB SCSI drive; Adaptec
               1542b at 5MBytes/sec DMA Transfer Speed

I hope this is of some help...
