Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


Sorry if already asked, but are you using hardware raid or software raid? If
so, is it raid 5/6 ? I discovered an huge hole in performance like your
reports using that kind of setup. Search in the list for previous posts
about performance solved.
