I've been playing with MaxTransfer and Buffers, increasing and
decreasing the values.  I've noticed very little, if any HD improvement.
I do notice that even setting both values at a minimum, I use 40K
per partition per drive.  Is this normal?  Two drives, each divided
into four partitions uses an incredible amount of RAM just by
mounting them.
