Perry:
Can you comment on whether the performance problems would be helped by
disk architectures with larger cylinders (i.e. more data under the
heads before a seek).

Another thought:  how much will 1.2 caching help?  How about Matt's
idea of caching all blocks in a track, i.e. if you invested the time
to read them in, put them into the cache.
