Depends on a lot of things, especially what else is on that controller.
The way I found things was my involvement in the Scribus DTP project. I
upgraded to the Athlon 2600 from a Duron 900.
That took me from 30+mins from a Scribus compile to 2 mins (!) if there
is no secondary drive. When I had my old 20gb drive plugged in to do
copies off of it.. 11mins. Do you have anything else plugged in there?
Of course, I guess in that case the 8mb drive cache is helping a lot.
