    no, sorry, I didn't. dunno what they are. it would have helped if you
isolated a bit the lines you were refering to.

    performance is not measured in cpu ussage but in units of data
processed in time. if you checked your IO instead, you'll see is not
being really saturated either; most of the time your disk will be seeking
between sections to read and sections to write. that's why hard disks and
filesystems usually publish both benchmarks: secuential and random access
(read and write).

    It was *your* block :)
