maybe you are getting some speedups related to random file access, and I for myself have set my drives to quiet most of the time and switch, when I know that some stress (like emerging glibc, kde, gcc) is coming up. My disks don't complain, but I read, that this can cause problems, so I warn everybody. Most people just want to be safe, not fast ;o) (or quiet). Glück Auf, Volker -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
