	Are you serious that on your system; from cold you get a sub 1 second
time for: time find ~/.gconf -name '*.xml' -exec cat {} > /dev/null \; -
I'm assuming of course that you've used a fair number of Gnome apps -
and thus that there are a good number of tiny scattered files in
~/.gconf.

	Either way - the performance is directly related to seek time, and
almost nothing to do with read time. It's interesting that my hdparm
measures read time, but not avg./worst case seek times - is there a good
way for people to measure that easily - so we can correlate it with
their times ?

	Hmm,

		Michael.
