I have noticed that doing writes takes anywheres from 50% to 100% slower
than reads on a Sun-3. To speed things up a little I would like to do
an asynchronous write where the OS writes the data when it pleases but
does not make my program take a hit for it. Does anybody know of a way
this can be done or is done?
