Yes the disk reads is a more realistic real world test :
/dev/sda5:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 1.23 seconds =104.07 MB/sec
guf:~# hdparm -t /dev/sda5
/dev/sda5:
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 5.84 seconds = 10.96 MB/sec
The above result is from the Ultratrak Tx8 (TX8000 now) with 8 60 Gigs IBM
deskstar 7200 rpm in raid 5. Kind of slow if you ask me.
