My reasons for using the largest block size was more of the space 
efficiency -- the fs typically holds no more than 20 files in 10 directories, 
but the smallest file is 1Gb in length. This is also why I chose ufs1 (-O1) 
over ufs2 -- we don't need ACLs on this filesystem.

I never benchmarked the speed on the single drives, other than to compare with 
my RAID5 array (which puzzlingly always loses to a single drive, but that's a 
different story).

Thanks,
