Thank you for the link to that report, Nevile. While I have been a subscriber to it I also follow many reports, so your link is very helpful.
I was eager to run the test stack there, but discovered there isn't one. I don't mind creating one, but it would be helpful to know what's required.
Have you seen any difference between a stack with little content but a large number of objects vs one with a small number of objects but a lot of text or images?
Once I can reproduce the test, I'll modify it to isolate the time devoted to stack files separately from other file I/O for equivalently-sized files.
