Right, I don't access the other drive much (mp3 playing doesn't
involve swapping, and I only tar xzf those archives rarely). I don't know
how big the difference is, since EIDE bus mastering isn't the greatest. If
I had a nice SCSI setup then things would be better, but I'd rather just
get more memory if I had that kind of money!
