1) It's on a RAID, the seq test (just using a perl script to write files
coninuously) reach >50MBytes/sec
2) Sorry I don't understand
3) I've no idea. I've tried on UFS (on FreeBSD 3.2 3.4 3.5 4.1.1 and 4.2)
and ext2 (on newest Debian release)
4) It's on Dual xeon P2 400 1MB Cache, with 1G ram on board

It's slow because it contains many files. i.e. Reading a big files is always
faster than reading many small files
