Are you asking that someone go implement a 'nominal' speed tester in the 
kernel that will accurately determine the speed of each attached storage
device?   Would you demand your money back if the number reported was
wrong?  Why does it matter?  Your SCSI busses are running at Ultra320,
and that is that.  Just because gcc + mozilla isn't reliable in your
configurations... oops, wrong argument.
