With a DS8300 Turbo, my overall average response time is around 1ms. It looks to me like a cache hit is a little less than .5ms, with less than .300ms of connect time.

All I want is two very rough figures. I don't want to consider different hardware or attachement types. -- Peter Hunkeler CREDIT SUISSE AG ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html CONFIDENTIALITY/EMAIL NOTICE: The material in this transmission contains confidential and privileged information intended only for the addressee.
