However, the I/O performance results from my testing currently show that there is a major difference between 4.11 and 5.3 (4.11 is much faster!). I have a suspicion that these issues may be related to some core issues with 5.3 that need to cleared up. On Wed, 26 Jan 2005 05:50:02 -0700 (MST), Terry R.
