I've run dog101a on a 640k PC with a nearly full 10MB Maynard hard disk
with no problems. That file system had not been reloaded for a very long
time, more than a year I think (it runs Telegodzilla, the Pro-YAM Demand
Upgrade public access bulletin board).

DOG101a took quite a wile to run, and I don't notice a significant subjective
increase in the speed of disk operations.

What would be interesting would be a program that (in place!) changes the
interleave factor file by file according to wether it is a program, directory,
or sequential data file ...
