Of course, in case this should read as ``kilobytes per second'', it is
a good indication for the poor benchmark. It measures (if anything)
just the buffer cache. Must have been a rather small file.

Real disks are < 10 MB/s these days, at least those that are in common
use, so it's obvious that the figures are off by at least factor 30.

Well, perhaps the file performance tests were run on a memory file
system though... :-))
