Hmm...knickers...

	[!%][infinitum][bin] >hdparm -t /dev/hdb5
	/dev/hdb5:
	Timing buffered disk reads:  32 MB in  5.80 seconds = 5.52 MB/sec

Not too hot really :) Optimizaation is probably the area I'm least proficient 
in (HD performance is rarely an issue for me, so never bothered 
researching)... any tips? :) Dunno if its of any importance, but dmesg 
reports drives as follows:

	hda: FUJITSU MPA3035ATU, 3337MB w/0kB Cache, CHS=847/128/63, UDMA
	hdb: Maxtor 90680D4, 6485MB w/256kB Cache, CHS=826/255/63, UDMA
	hdc: Maxtor 92048D8, 19531MB w/1024kB Cache, CHS=39683/16/63, UDMA
