In the latest issue of Computer Currents (hmm, I guess it is a Los Angles only
paper) There is an article explainindisk optimazation.

According to this column an XT has a default interleave factor of 6.
An AT defaults at 2.

Anyway, he claimed a 200% speed increase on a Deskpro 286 by using a comercial
program that searches for the optimium interleave factor. (in his case a 4.)

The program is called: HTest/HFormat
