True, but when multiple devices are used on the same scsi bus, using
wide devices will improve performance. I don't have benchmark numbers,
but a wide device is connected to the bus half as long when doing a data
transfer. This not only gives a quicker completion time, it also allows
other devices to access the bus sooner. Response time increases overall.
