It averaged out around 27Mb/s, which I think sound a little low (but that might be wrong). My present suspicion is atime updates; it seems the server was not configured noatime, which seem like it would strange the disk with synchronous write requests. That would be reasonably consistent with the numbers. However, it may also be that the test is fair - IIS has done a lot to optimize this, including (if I understand correctly) NT kernel support just to serve static pages faster. Eivind.
