Could it be that scattered reads take less time "if" the next block of
data to be read is "actually" adjacent to the last block read, therefore
you wouldn't be incurring seek time as you might with sequential reads?=20


Thanks!=20

One comment / question on OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ;
It seems that on "NON-cached" filesystems (e.g. RAW, OCFS) that there
would/do NOT be a great difference in "db file scattered reads" vs. "db
file sequential reads" AVERAGE_WAITS...as every read from disk (on
non-cached filesystem) is a *real* read from dusk...no OS buffer to
help, no?

Thanks,
