Is there some reasonably valid understanding of how big an impact this makes in the average and worst case? Sort of a measure of the spread of disk-drive performance out in the wild. Say for example...a typical christmas special home desktop from Dell... does the disk-seek performance on a system like that make an order of magnitude faster bootup or application startup times a pipedream? -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
