It's 1.5. It's definitely faster (I'm seeing about 30%). I don't know what
else is in it offhand. I wouldn't wait for the new archiving software, since
it and DiskFit look at things from somewhat different angles. While the new
stuff could do what Diskfit does, I'll definitely want to keep Diskfit
around as well.
