Perhaps there's a caching issue that boosts apparent throughput at the start, then when you empty the cache, you're slowed down to the throughput speed of the drive. I remember that when the first high speed UDMA hard drives came out. People went "wow, 66 megabits a second." Then found out only the first burst came out that fast, the rest was slower. Much slower. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
