I'm interested in the performance from various controller/disk combinations.
Can people run the following and provide me with 

the time (sys and real) on an unloaded system
your operating system vendor + version
drive type / manufacturer
interface type / manufacturer
CPU type and speed

/bin/time dd if=/dev/dsk/0s1  of=/dev/null bs=4k count=2000

/dev/dsk/0s1 can be changed but should be a block device.  I'd be 
interested in non '386 system results also.  I will summarize the 
results to the net.
