  comment = {Improvements in I/O bandwidth crucial for supporting database
  machines, otherwise highly parallel DB machines are useless (I/O bound). Two
  ways to do it: 1) synchronized interleaving by using custom controller and
  regular disks to read/write same track on all disks, which speeds individual
  accesses. 2) use very large cache (100-200M) to keep blocks to re-use and to
  do prefetching. But see dewitt:pardbs.}
