So, from the info Ron and Bruce provided, it sounds like multi-GB single- threaded disk output can get 30-40 MB/sec these days. Impressive! I don't know if even the newest and fastest tape can compare with those numbers.

In that way, he cuts out =all= of the intermediate I/O. ================================================== Art Celestini Celestini Development Services Phone: 201-670-1674 Wyckoff, NJ ============= http://celestini.com ============= Mail sent to the "From" address used in this post will be rejected by our server.
