Yeah, thanks Steve...
but even the 120+MB images mentioned elsewhere in this thread will take less
than a couple of seconds at worst to load.
As I understand it, the problem is indexing and sorting and stuff that
is moving more than one of these images.
However I think you're quite right, the disks are going to top out.
Though I thought new disks were reading at about 3Gbit/s these days?
