I tried the RateHD a day or so ago - it is supposed to determine the speed of
a hard disk *independant* of the OS slowing it down (:-).  Anyway - I tried it
on my Supra, and it gave something like a 40ms access time.  Then I defragged
my root partition (only about 4Megs) and ran it again.  This time, the access
time was only about 36ms!  Has DLII (the defragger used) done something
unexpected to my drive, or has RateHD gone doolally?
