No, I'm say *you* don't know what my IO rate is.
I told you in my initial post that I was observing numbers in excess of
what you claiming, but you seemed to think I didn't know how to measure
an IO rate.
I should note too that our system uses about 20% of a single cpu when
performing a table scan at >100MB/s of IO. I think you claimed the
system would be cpu bound at this low IO rate.
