I tried it, but without any success. The vmstat output below indicate what
happens. As it shows, the 'bi' is quite stable (but slightly falling)
around 30-35 megs per sec. After the buffer memory is filled up/used, it
tries to swap out a little, works itself downwards before stabalizing at
~900kB/sec - from two 120G IDE drives in RAID-0 !!!

thanks for any help.
