Luke, sometime it would be nice if you would post your raw evidence
and let other people do their own analysis. I for one have gotten
tired of reading sweeping generalizations unbacked by any data.
I find the notion of a magic 120MB/s barrier, independent of either
CPU or disk speed, to be pretty dubious to say the least. I would
like to know exactly what the "wide variety" of data points you
haven't shown us are.
