RE: Benefits from V3R7 to V4R3

[Neil Palmer <NeilP@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK - guess I sent that reply off a little too soon.  I was basing that reply 
strictly on CPW and not code improvements.

On the weekend I just upgraded from V4R2 to V4R3.  Took a look at the run times 
for my nightly backup job (it's basically a complete system backup, does other 
cleanup stuff too) and it's dropped from 6h 45m to 6h 00m.  So obviously there 
have been some improvements in the save code.

(That's on a model S10-2118 with 128MB memory, 3 x 8.589GB disks, and a 13/26GB 
Internal QIC drive running off the MFIOP (same as the disk drives, no separate 
disk controller - as with RAID-5 - which would make a big improvement in my 
backup times).

On our model (500/2142) with a 3570 Magstar drive (not in library mode I
believe) our backup times cut in half. Daily saves that normally took 55
minutes now take 28.
