Well, at the moment I havent had much time to play around with it, but I am planning some tests, because I really dont think my filesystem is as fast as expected. Im running on 4 9Gb 10K RPM disks, and except when copying 100+MB files to /dev/null (approx 18Mb / s) i dont get much faster acx than 2-4Mb / s, which I have seen better (this is on 3.4-RELEASE). Also the searchtime is very slow, and a script like /etc/periodic/weekly/310.blabla which I thought would be much faster, isnīt compared to a regular IDE disk. But also normal system usage (this is my workstation) doesnīt seem to have speeded up much. I tried experimenting with SOFTOPTIONS, no luck.
