OK, is this really *the* performance measurement?  I'm sitting here in
my hotel room in Beijing with a seriously underpowered AcerNote Light
(75 MHz Pentium, allegedly (and I can believe it) with no cache), and
I get:

=== grog@papillon (/dev/ttyp3) ~ 7 -> dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1m count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
1048576000 bytes transferred in 17.784494 secs (58960125 bytes/sec)
=== grog@papillon (/dev/ttyp3) ~ 8 -> dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=128k count=8000
8000+0 records in
8000+0 records out
1048576000 bytes transferred in 17.022243 secs (61600343 bytes/sec)
=== grog@papillon (/dev/ttyp3) ~ 9 -> 

Sure, it's noticably slower, but not as much as I would have hoped for
your sake.
