    I'm not disagreeing with that, but if you read the previous exchange you'd see
    that I was reacting to what seemed to be an obviously rude dismissal of how
    latency effects both IO performance of a system and trashes the usability of
    the a priority driven scheduler. It's basic computer science.

    Had to read your post a couple of times to make sure that the tone of it
    wasn't charged. :)
