It also depends on processor speed and amount of ram. On my computer
(K6-233, 64megs) most of the time is spent in the cpu and there is not
much disk activity.

The thing I am trying to do now is to copy with X love for a lot of small
configuration files. Preloading them in the order they are on disk would
make things much faster.
