For thoses interested on perfs, I finished setting up an ASUS P2L97-DS, 
128MB SDRAM, 2 x PII 337Mhz (Oc'd 300).

SCSI devs are : 2 x 2940 UW (+ 1 Internal chipset)
Each 2940 chain have 1 x Quantum AtlasII 9Go and 2 x Ibm DGVS 9Go.
(total : 6 x 9Go).

The Ibm's are 10050 rpm, 18MB/s media rate.

Using ccd's, 2 disks give a 33MB/s filesystem (best), and 27MB/s 
(average) reads. Writes seems to be far more slow.

I tested 4 disks ccds and got a 52MB/s peak read. Unfortunetly, this 
raises the 'sys' activity to about 90%.

------ Problems encountered :

- IDE CD attachment. (great problem since it's the only IDE device. The 
ATAPI code do not probe ide0:0, only ide0:1 if no disk found then the 
probing decide a way like : 'no disks ? so no Controller !!)

- RC5 client : (FYI : 930 kk/s/processor). Using the SNAP-971012, I
*NEVER* felt the load of the RC5 clients. Using the 971225, every time the 
RC5 clients are running, all disk activities are slowed (up to 10 time 
slower). Someone heard about a 'nicing' problem ?

Congratulations to all the SMP (and other FreeBSD-*) team(s)....
