Hiya,

When 1.4 was released I did some bonnie benchmarks on a fresh 2 drive SCSI
system with striping.  In all the tests I tried, the ccd device was faster
than the raid device in almost all categories.

I don't know know if thats changed since then, but based on what I saw ccd is
worth keeping around because its faster, as well as allowing for a
considerably smaller kernel size.

Well, I lost all the data that I had saved (it was a while ago), but I swear
its true.  I think I have the numbers backed up offline somewhere if anyone is
interested.
