that didn't make any difference, however doing:

	echo 'rmw on' > /dev/sdC0/ctl

caused the interrupts to drop significantly (from ~7000 to ~1000) and the
load to increase somewhat substantially (though still not maxed out)...

honestly, i can't predict whether that's going to decrease or increase the
time it takes to complete the command.

from other sources i understand that venti/fmtarenas has been observed to
take the better part of a night to complete :) how are you solving this
for the future plan9 install disk, which will have the option to choose
between kfs and fossil?
