I suspect that the old disk I had attached just didn't have enough
performance reserves to show an improvement.
My test scenario was buildworld. Since /usr/src and /usr/obj were both
on the one disk it got a pretty good workout.

Buildworld hardly uses the disk at all. It reads and writes a few hundred
MB. Ideally the i/o should go at disk speeds of 50-200MB/S and thus take
between 20 and 5 seconds. In practice, it will take a few more seconds.
physically but perhaps even less virtually due to parallelism.
