	A better benchmark would be to create a ton of itty bitty files
like from a mail server...  the reason there isn't much time diff
between the two is because you picked a pretty CPU intensive task to
benchmark.  Try something w/ more files, that are created more
requently.  Toss together a quick program that forks off 20 copies of=20
itself that write 500byte files full of zeros and then deletes them... =20
you should see a pretty decent sized difference.  -sc
