[p4] anyone notice files take a while to transfer

[duncan.bowring@realtimeworlds.com]

Hi folks,
I'm currently testing my new server, but when synching from the dataset
I've migrated from the old server (yes, I rebuilt the database from a
checkpoint), I'm noticing it takes a while to transfer files and isn't
really hammering the diskIO at all.

I've got 5 machines force sync to head from large branches just now and
iostat says:

evice:         rrqm/s   wrqm/s   r/s   w/s    rkB/s    wkB/s avgrq-sz
avgqu-sz   await  svctm  %util

If I log in with more clients, you can execute 'normal' commands
instantly.

Is this just normal for p4d, or is something going drastically wrong
here?

Thanks,
Duncan
