On my Dell XPS m1210 laptop -
Timing cached reads:   2046 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1023.40 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads:  102 MB in  3.32 seconds =  30.71 MB/sec

One tip: Move to XFS. I have used ReiserFS for 4 years and then moved to
XFS a couple of years back. The performance has been excellent so far.

BG
