Hi,

This is really impressive!I enabled  NEW_BUFQ_STRATEGY and softdeps and i see
*much* better disk perfomance!

Seeker 1...Seeker 2...Seeker 3...start 'em...done...done...done...
              -------Sequential Output-------- ---Sequential Input-- --Random--
              -Per Char- --Block--- -Rewrite-- -Per Char- --Block--- --Seeks---
Machine    MB K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU K/sec %CPU  /sec %CPU
          500 51806 57.0 51928 22.1 11553  5.0 48381 56.8 50732 13.8 420.7  2.8

Before that i got 42-45MB/sec on U160 disks!

Greetings
