Well obviously if my hard-disk was slow enough to get what I wanted, I
wouldn't need to ask the question.
You're obviously missing the point of what I wrote.
What makes disk filesystems slow is not the code run on
the CPU...it's the operating speed of the disk-head
actuator.
It's not the filesystem that's slow, it's the DISK DRIVES
that are slow.
The disk I/O bottleneck is not the CPU overhead , it's the
speed which the read/write head can be placed into the proper
track position plus additional waiting for the correct sector
to come around underneath the read/write head.
There are not "slow" filesystems, only slow hard disks.
