We've not had much feedback on this, I guess that people don't really
notice much of a difference, I certainly haven't.  The allocation
policy for PE's is to start at the beginning of the disk (which tend
to have faster data transfer rates) and work back.  Anybody done any
benchmarking in this area ?
