As you can see, dd with bs=1 took 2.231s. With bs=512, it took
0.011s.

And how much time have you all spent fussing over which way is faster?

I was just keen to improve my knowledge of the dd command and to satisfy
my insatiable curiosity about all things Linux! And the discussion has
been quite useful in doing just that.

Further, contrary what to what Eric is trying to imply, that's
not just an "academical" discussion. Write a 100MB file with
bs=1 and with bs=100mb (or better: with 8k; I seem to remember,
that 8k gives best performance).

But I suppose his comment was made just because of a lack
of knowledge on the side of Eric.
