Thank you for testing this with our kernel.  Will give this a shot ASAP.

What does 20-30 sectors per second translate to in terms of disk bandwidth?
A sector is 512 bytes, right?  That implies that a class at minimum gets
10-15Kbytes per second?  Assuming seeks on the disk do not go nuts due to
the scheduler, what is the avg/max number of sectors per second one can
expect from a reasonably good disk these days?

Thanks,
Marc
