Sources supped on 950303 at 1700 PST.  I did a make world, and
supped /sys today 950304 at 1645 PST to rebuild the kernel.
So, I have the recently revamped SCSI stuff in my system.  The
system is 486DX66, Adaptec 1742, Maxtor mxt-540-s.  `Iozone 16'
reports roughly 850KB/s write and 1MB/s read.  I looked into
using tunefs to improve performance, but nothing I tried seemed
to give better results.  I should also point out the system
fragmentation is below 3%.

With the exact hardware and FBSD 1.1.5.1, I was getting numbers
around  1.5 to 2MB/s write and 3MB/s read.
