That is an amazing write speed!!

How much memory is in this machine???  As a note to folks it really
helps if you run one really long iozone job to find out about
sustained transfer rate and to eliminate almost all of the buffer cache
effects:  (The 16MB limit on iozone auto is not high enough for 16MB
machines, since the buffer cache can now get quite large).

This is on a 16MB machine, P54C-90, NCR810 controller iozone 2.01: The
buffer cache become ineffective at 8MB transfer size, but still skewed
the numbers some (~200K/sec).

iozone 128 8192:

        IOZONE writes a 128 Megabyte sequential file consisting of
	16384 records which are each 8192 bytes in length.
	It then reads the file.  It prints the bytes-per-second
	rate at which the computer can read and write files.


Writing the 128 Megabyte file, 'iozone.tmp'...53.343750 seconds
Reading the file...51.906250 seconds

IOZONE performance measurements:
	2516090 bytes/second for writing the file
	2585772 bytes/second for reading the file
