That it is poor quality shows in the numbers, which are dramatically lower than the actual Linux implementation -- by an order of magnitude or more. In other words, they build a strawman and knock it down. The actual Linux implementation blasts any of the numbers they have in their paper, which I presume means they haven't optimized any of them. As such, all the numbers are meaningless. -hpa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
