That looks reasonable to me - very fast from the cache and a lot slower
when it has to be buffered (on the hard drive, presumably). But, what do I
know!?
That is not even close to reasonable. I have never seen buffered reads THAT
bad.
Timing cached reads: 1316 MB in 2.09 seconds = 629.02 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 158 MB in 3.02 seconds = 52.25 MB/sec
And I get this...
/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 1024 MB in 2.00 seconds = 511.06 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 102 MB in 3.02 seconds = 33.82 MB/sec
1.85 MB/sec looks *very* slow to me.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
