I said that, yes.

I think on Linux it was just a combination of me picking a file system
not really optimized for bunches of little files, combined with a
journaling mode that's designed for utter safety rather than efficiency,
combined with a software RAID. I probably could have improved it a bunch
if I had an incentive to learn my options before installing things.

You understand I'm talking about quarter million 1.7-meg files, yes?
That's 2000+ deletes a minute (36/second) on an IDE drive with RAID
going on.
Yes, I'm using the wrong file system, but it's not *too* shabby.
