Yesterday I finally got my ccd drive working. I have slow but cheap
SCSI disks and I thought I'd invest in future and put in two 
ncr/pci controllers, with one drive attached to each (for the first).

Then I ran a batch job

#!/bin/sh
for i in 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 40 48 56 64 72 80 96
do
   umount /a 2>&1 >/dev/null
   ccdconfig -U
   ccdconfig ccd0c $i none /dev/sd0e /dev/sd1e
   newfs /dev/rccd0c 2>&1 >/dev/null
   mount /dev/ccd0c /a
   cd /a
   bonnie 2>&1 >/root/$i.result
   cd /
   umount /a
done

which tested the ccd performance with different interleave factors using
bonnie. The results are below. 

I didn't yet get higher than an interleave of 96. I didn't expect that
the results did still grow beyonf and interleave of 32 anyway. So
I tend to think that benchmarking the ccd with bonnie that way might
be questionable.

Also strange the high CPU percentage which I would expect with a PCI
busmaster DMA driven controller/transfer.
