Hoi Hackers,
I now have two reasonably comparable machines. Again I've tried bonnie. The
runs were made on a working day, with X11 up and running.
Let me see... phobos is a pentium 90 Mhz, deimos is an i486DX2-66. Both have
an on-board pci ide contoller and a single quantum 810Mb disk, mounted
asynchonous (the difference between sync and async is practically nil for
the results of bonnie, altough I don't have figures on that).
I've run the test twice, once with the standard entries in the config file and
once with the flags of the wdc set to 0x80ff80ff (that's the "(32)" results).
Special thanks to Andrew Stesin, who pointed me to the wdc flags. (He
practically had to rub my nose in them before I found them <:) ).

Are these figures reasonable? Is there any way to squeeze a little extra
performance out of these machines? (Without buying hardware :-) )
Groetjes,
Kees Jan
PS. I've appended the dmesgs to this mail.
