thank you very much for that informative reply.
Yes I've realized it's too much work for so little
But I'll do some benchmarking anyway just to test (just downloaded IOZone). Any recommendation on other good benchmarking software ?
And yet another hard disk tip i got from another book. It claims I'll get slightly better performance if I split my linux installation on several disks since more disk heads are working on the operating system. True, or just another worthless statement?
Thanks again
