This is iozone the disk throughput bench compiled on Solaris x86.

Look at the beginning of iozone.c file to get a description of how 
iozone makes disk measurements.

If you like please mail the results of your test.

If you have 32 meg installed on your system run:

iozone auto
iozone 10
iozone 20
iozone 30


The last test iozone 30 should definitly thrash the disk cache buffer
if you running open windows. This shows a good worse case for sequential
reads.

Note: If you send me your results include:
machine processor type:
Processor speed:
Disk Controler type:
Amount of memory:
