Okay, I'll accept that.  However, just to appease my curiosity and to
give me a point of reference, can you tell me what the performance of
the ISC filesystem is?  Simple sequential read of a large file would be
fine.  For comparison, my ESIX runs at appx. 440KB/sec in this kind of
test.  This is with an Ultrastor Ultra 12(F) ESDI controller and
Maxstor 4380E drives.
