Sparc 1 running SunOS 4 server:
Linux 2.0 client, iozone with 512 byte blocks:

IOZONE performance measurements:
11933 bytes/second for writing the file <------- ** OUCH! **
800439 bytes/second for reading the file

Linux 2.0 client, iozone with 8192 byte blocks:

IOZONE performance measurements:
119837 bytes/second for writing the file
825650 bytes/second for reading the file

SunOS 4 client, iozone with 512 byte blocks:

IOZONE performance measurements:
138104 bytes/second for writing the file
4714672 bytes/second for reading the file

SunOS 4 client, iozone with 8192 byte blocks:

IOZONE performance measurements:
163806 bytes/second for writing the file
