Shucks, folks, I wanted to post the transfer rate for my SysV machine but
time just doesn't have the resolution to handle "cat /usr/dict/all >/dev/null"
It just keeps coming back with zero.

Oh, I should say my machine is an Amdahl 5890 running two
processors, with your standard channel attached 6380E disk drives.

And UTS uses 4K blocks, for an infinite improvement :-)

But I still prefer the amazing technology on my desk, a MacSE.  UTS makes
a great backend though.
