Is this using iozone or raw transfers? I can get 4 MB/sec if I dd from
/dev/sd0d to /dev/null, but iozone only gives me 800-900 K/sec. I'm
using a Quantum Lightning 350, which I gather is a pretty fast drive.

I'm running NetBSD 1.0 with what I gather is the latest patch version
of the NCR driver (V2 pl16 95/02/21).

Any thoughts, anyway?

I concurr with all the priase for Stefan and Wolf. They've helped me
out tremendously, too.
