You got it, no real numbers but lots of satisfaction.
Whenever we feel (gut feel can work wonders with experience) that a client
will be into heavy i/o, in comes the DPT.
We use it ourselves on our internal support system that we do all of our mail
and news etc on. Without the DPT 'everything' is slow. Now mail lists snap up
and away as quickly as, well - a flash. Really, we are now waiting for the
scsi II DPT cache controller to see what magic it will bring.
As far as systems go we don't use anything except what you call fast systems.
Mostly 33MhZ 486 boxes when the demand for heavy use is there. But an
occasional 386 will sneak in there too.
