since modern disks can read a whole track at once, there's no "reload"
time. it would only make sense to interleave you have more than 1 i/o
process (venti seems to have a few) and you're either running faster
than the disk bandwidth. the disk bandwidth could be as high as 60MB/s

I'd like to set up my spiffy new cpu server to boot from a venti
using at least mirrored arenas via fs(3). A few questions on this:
• I'm mirroring the arenas to insure against drive failure. Does it
make sense to also interleave the indexes? Both of them?
