:: Good to hear.

Bah... spoke to soon:

# hdparm -tT /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  2.37 seconds = 54.01 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  6.87 seconds =  9.32 MB/sec

/dev/sda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  2.30 seconds = 55.65 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in 10.16 seconds =  6.30 MB/sec

/dev/sda:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  2.28 seconds = 56.14 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  6.88 seconds =  9.30 MB/sec

I don't understand this. I don't see it on any other 2.4.x-based box.

Will try it on an IDE drive shortly.

The original install was from the XFS-2.4.2 CD installer -- didn't check
where it put the man pages. Never done a manual 'make install' though.

That's the April 19 version. Is there a newer version available? Doesn't
seem to be in the CVS.

Yep, they're in the right directory.
