"You cannot get more than 600KB per second out of the
filesystem in the best of circumstances, and even that is only
achieved, as far I know, by the MIPS UNIX. Others top out at
around 300KB per second."
This doesn't sound right. I just tried sequential disk reads from a
large file on a Tektronix XD88 (88k-based) workstation and got
650KB/sec. Even our wimpy 68020-based systems get 450KB/sec. This
through a slow SCSI channel, and the file system is Berkeley FFS.
