- I tried the demo release of the AFS file-system. Everything works
- as advertised except one thing...
-
- Some of the programs I use will often read/write a series of records.
- Several 1000s records, about 200 bytes a pieces.
- They are read/written 1-by-1 sequentially in small 200 byte pieces.
- (Not the most efficient way to do it, but that is what SnoopDos and
- DosTrace are reporting.)
-
- In one such case, the old Amiga FFS takes about 15 seconds to do what
- the AFS takes about 70 seconds to do.
-
- I most likely have something configured wrong some place within AFS,
- but where?
-
- Or is FFS much faster (4x) than AFS in this type of situation?
-
- Thanks.
