Hi...

	Well, just plugged in the newest CAM snapshot, got everything
compiled and installed, and am getting terrible transfer rates, as far as
I can tell...granted, I just might be missing something in my kernel
config, but I swear my pre-CAM kernel had better performance, with pretty
much no change in settings.

	By slower, I mean that the VIKING II below, that I ran IOZONE on
several times with the older driver, was reporting closer to 11Meg/s...
