	(1) If AmigaDOS were to sort the blocks when a user does an ExNext
	call, a directory listing would not be slow slow 

	(2) If AmigaDOS were to cache whatever-the-hell it's tracking back
	for (when reading and writing LARGE files.. as in >30K)... 
	tic tic tic traaack traack tic tic tic traack traack, then file load
	time would almost double, and file save time would also almost double.
