Hello,

I have a P90 system running as news server. Lately I had a Aha2940 in it
and it's performance was lousy. I changed it to a bt946 and the performance
increased very much. In figures:
systat -vm reported always about max 80 ops/s for all 4 drives togheter
for the aha while for the bt it is at around 150 ops/s. Ok these statistics
are not always true, but... in numbers of articles accepted and sent this
also gives at least factor 2 that the bt performs better. (IMHO 150 ops/s
are not that much anyway ..) Did anyone else see this?

"Live TV died in the late 1950s, electronic bulletin boards came along in the
 mid-1980s, meaning there was about a 25-year gap when it was difficult to
 put your foot in your mouth and have people all across the country know about
 it." -- Mark Leeper
