	Here are some numbers from my system:

i486/100, Adaptec 2842, 32 mb ram, 256K cache, Quantum Atlas XP34300
FreeBSD 2.1R, Tagged Command Queueing enabled
Done on  /var, which is only 2% full.  (200 meg partition)
machine was pretty much idle

iozone with 8K blocks, 150 meg file:

----
        IOZONE writes a 150 Megabyte sequential file consisting of
        19200 records which are each 8192 bytes in length.
        It then reads the file.  It prints the bytes-per-second
        rate at which the computer can read and write files.


Writing the 150 Megabyte file, 'iozone.tmp'...24.875000 seconds
Reading the file...31.031250 seconds

IOZONE performance measurements:
        6323071 bytes/second for writing the file
        5068645 bytes/second for reading the file
----

	I'm not entirely sure why the writes are significantly faster than
the reads.

Here are the bonnie results: 

----
{area238:/var/tmp:4:0} bonnie
File './Bonnie.2611', size: 104857600
Writing with putc()...done
Rewriting...done
Writing intelligently...done
Reading with getc()...done
Reading intelligently...done
Seeker 1...Seeker 2...Seeker 3...start 'em...done...done...done...
