Hi...

	I'm just curious as to what sort of performance I should see
out of my machine, as reported by iozone.  I decided to shutdown news
to perform my tests, so that the machine is pretty much idle (only
thing doing disk activity is pretty much httpd).

	Mainly, I'm trying to see if I have anything configured wrong,
or "not-optimally", that could be changed to improve performance on this
machine. :)

	I'm also sending this to -current, in case there are bugs in
-stable that are fixed in -current, that might be reflected here :)

	My results show:

	ncr:sd0 - 1.95write/3.01read - Conner CFP1060S 
	ncr:sd1 - 1.75write/2.50read - Conner CFA540S
	aha:sd2 - 1.06write/1.06read - Quantum LPS340S
	aha:sd3 - 1.12write/0.94read - Quantum LP240S

	ncr == ASUS SC-200 PCI Controller
	aha == Adaptec 1542CF ISA Controller

	Do those values from IOzone look right?  Looking at the aha:sd?
values, they look low to me, especially considering that when I ran IOzone
on it, there would have been zero activity on those drives except for
their respective swap partitions:

ki# df | egrep "sd2|sd3"
/dev/sd2e       98479    69618    20982    77%    /usr/obj
/dev/sd3f      151935   137869     1911    99%    /usr/src
/dev/sd2f      186111    52647   118575    31%    /news/overview
/dev/sd3e       46111    13379    29043    32%    /news/spool/comp/os

	I had news shutdown...and wasn't doing a make world :)

	Comments/recommendations?  Something I want to set differently
or change?

Thanks...
