This was a practise test performed in the shell on an A4000/040 with an IDE Quantum Maverick 540. Each number is in seconds and is an average of the same test performed several times. When using more files, the distance between PFS2 and SFS and FFS will be even greater, just like when using SCSI. All tests were done under exactly the same circumstances.
TOTAL: 2633 files - 65 directories - 39900 blocks
| Copy | List | Delete | |
| PFS2 | 127 | 10 | 19 |
| SFS | 211 | 13 | 45 |
| DOS5 | 607 | 13 | 60 |
If you think we cheated on these results, have a look at Amiga Format's Christmas issue. They performed a similar test and the result was about the same.
