Hi,

  I was checking a JAZ disk today, and noted that during a whole
disk dd the time spent in interrupt mode (as told by top) was
almost 100%.  My machine is a PPro/200, and the Jaz is in it's
own controller, aic0.

  Is this expected ?  I know that the aic support is not perfect,
as stated in it's sources, but in a dd with large block sizes
the machine is almost unusable.  Or is it a JAZ "feature" ?

  The jaz drive was at a 2940 controller at first, by I changed it
because heavy usage in the jaz media made the whole system slower.
At first I thought that the SCSI bus beeing busy with a
non-disconectable device would slow all devices, including the
system disks.  Maybe I was wrong ?
