Re: gbde Performance - 35Mb/s vs 5.2 MB/s

Hi Christophe,

to rephrase my question/suggestion from earlier today:

do you get your cpu to be 0% idle by using gbde ?
if not, you are bound by your disk-subsystem, one way or the other...

i cannot imagine that you are limited to 5MB/s by your cpu.
and if you aren't, there should be room for improvement - even though i'm
not sure how to achieve that improvement.
