I used FAT32 in my tests.
On a side note, FAT32 is actually DOS. It showed up in Windows 95b and wasn't
supported in NT until Win2K.
I guess, what I have been trying to say, is that we all know it all comes down to
disk I/O at some point. Reducing the number of sequencial disk I/O operations for
each transaction will improve performence. Maybe choosing a simple file system will
accomplish this.
