Has anyone done benchmarks of "popular" applications or Simple
OS/2 copy commands of HPFS on OS/2 Version 1.2?

It seems that the "regular" HPFS (i.e NOT HPFS386) is almost twice
as slow as FAT for the initial WRITE of files created by existing 
programs. Subsequent re-writes of these files are faster than FAT.
Just the first time you create and write the file, HPFS is slower
than FAT.  I am looking for independent benchmarks to examine the
truth of this.
