[OpenAFS] AFS Speed

[Nathan Ward]

Ok, WOW

I took half the ram out of my server to make it 512mb (was 1GB) and 
there is as Rubino mentioned, a speed increase of 500%.
I will get some stats on it now with bonnie++ and post them.  It was 
suggested by a workmate that this speed issue was due to motherboards 
not caching effeciently when over 512mb (he has seen it at 64/128mb and 
512/1024mb) but im not sure that this is the issue in this case.

Delete performance and small file performance is still slow, so I will 
try reiser when I have a chance to have a long downtime.
I understood reiser was optimised for small files, so it would be bad in 
this case as AFS volume files are reasonably large...?
