I didn't see this come across before... here ya go:

time dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=8k count=500000

500000+0 records in
500000+0 records out

real    1m52.738s
user    0m0.310s
sys     0m36.590s

time dd if=bigfile of=/dev/null bs=8k

time dd if=bigfile of=/dev/null bs=8k
500000+0 records in
500000+0 records out

real    4m38.742s
user    0m0.320s
sys     0m27.870s


FYI on your hardware raid comment... I easily get 50 megs a second on my
3ware controllers and faster on my LSI SATA controllers.
