That number's about right for random I/O and small blocksizes, which is what the KB/t field shows. If you were doing sequential I/O, the KB/t field would be at or near 128. Are you also running a "du", "cvs update", or other command likely to be doing random disk accesses? -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
