[opensuse] OpenSuse 10.3 Copy Speed Improvement

Suddenly i see speeds above 50MBs when copying files to different Sata
drives. Earlier 30 MB/s was good already. Now i reach up to 60. Is this
improvement reached thanks to the new kernel ?

Anyway this is the first distro where i see such speeds. So thank you,
devs :-)

Kind regards Philippe
