I've noticed that gmirror seems to rebuild disks by copying 128K every
clock tick (or about 12.8 MB/sec on a 100HZ box) - changing HZ to 1000
resulted in my system being limited by the underlying disk controller
speed (~ 30MB/sec between FW800 drives on the same 32 bit controller)
does anybody know if this behavior was intentional ?

John
