  Out of curiosity, does anyone know exactly what the SCSI_DELAY option is for in 
the FreeBSD kernel config file. I was editing the GENERIC kernel config on one of 
our systems and noticed that it had a line 'option "SCSI_DELAY=15"'. I checked 
the LINT configuration and it doesn't even mention it. What exactly does 
SCSI_DELAY do and can I improve system performance by reducing the value or even 
setting it to 0?
  Thanks in advance,

  Kelly
