My (rather limited) investigations lead me to believe that your '(optional) read-ahead' -- i.e. convert sector reads to track reads and cache the whole track -- unless of course you've already got it -- probably offers the greatest potential for speedup. However, I haven't yet designed such a thing clever enough to deal with the fact that not all my disks are laid out with the same number of sectors/track. Cheers, Paul
