Hi! It seems as my computer (Athlon XP 2000+) chooses the wrong checksumming function. The kernel output is as follows: raid5: measuring checksumming speed 8regs : 2564.000 MB/sec 32regs : 2260.000 MB/sec pIII_sse : 4748.400 MB/sec pII_mmx : 3921.200 MB/sec p5_mmx : 5022.400 MB/sec raid5: using function: pIII_sse (4748.400 MB/sec) I hope I can help the developers with this piece of information. And I also hope I mailed at the right address.
