Hmmm. are you saying that drive stats will vary based on CPU speed? This hadn't occurred to me as both CPUs are fast enough not to be concerned about interleave values. I figured I could run the tests, replace the mother board, and do 'em again. The drive is definitely slow. A Panasonic using a SilverLining Driver.
CPU speed does affect disk performance. More so for IDE drives than SCSI drives. At least that's my experience when benchmarking hard drives. I saw a marked difference in disk performance between having a 200 MHz 604e installed and a G3/300. There may be some point at which the hard disk need for CPU performance saturates and faster CPU does not increase disk performance, but I don't have a fast enough CPU to find that point.
