Try turning the caching off your performance might increase ... Write cacheing is usually done by your OS, so using cacheing mechanisms of your controller usually does not help you, and sometimes even makes it worse. Excess cache on your controller board does help if the memory on the board is much bigger than that of your CPU. -- intel1: 6:59pm up 10 days, 20:25, 4 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
