I know this is just a troll by a scsi-believer, but I'm biting anyway.
on current machines and disks, ide costs a few % CPU, depending on
which CPU, disk, kernel, the sustained bandwidth, etc. I've measured
this using the now-trendy method of noticing how much the IO costs
a separate, CPU-bound benchmark: load = 1 - (unloadedPerf / loadedPerf).
my cheesy duron/600 desktop typically shows ~2% actual cost when running
bonnie's block IO tests.
