I think the use of #Z is not going to yield as useful comparisons, since there's no way to do that on real plan 9 until we put file systems in the kernel :-) I really meant with fossil and venti partitions on linux disk partitions instead of in the linux file system. This will be more work to set up and I don't expect a huge delta in time since Linux does a lot of in-kernel caching of data. ron
