Incremental update: an extra 10-15% out of JackRabbit JR4

Yeah, thats about 10-15% better performance (newer driver, updated/tuned kernel, …) Nice! FWIW: some of our competitors have trouble sustaining this performance out of their storage clusters with double to quadruple the number of drives, RAIDs, etc. Performance matters, and performance density is growing to be as crucial as physical storage density as the size of that storage bandwidth wall skyrockets. [update] to answer the questions I received in email … these are spinning rust (standard disks). 7200 RPM. Enterprise SATA. No SSD or Flash (apart from OS). No SAS. Total read/written was significantly greater than RAM. Single thread reading and writing.
