I'm pre-mastering CD images (mkisofs and such) - about 1.3GB of data what
is impossible to buffer on both NetBSD and Linux.

On NetBSD, it takes about 10 minutes, while the disk seeks like an evil.
On Linux, it's only 2-3 minutes, without the horrible seeking.

Any solution?

I'm going to give a try for -current, and the UBC.
