First of all, you aren't using QDLS are you?  That is a dog!!!

Second, Yes the IFS is slow, but it's not the disk drives.  It's 
NetServer.  I took stuff that I served with NetServer and put it on an IXS 
card on the same box using the same disk drives and it was served much 
faster.  Supposedly V5R4 has some significant improvements to NetServer. 
However, I've no longer some good time trials to do a before and after.

For a long term solution for backing up your PC's and servers I'd 
recommend Tivoli Storage Manager.  However i5/os is being dropped as a 
supported platform for hosting TSM.  IBM suggests that if you just got to 
use i5 hardware then to use a Unix or Linux partition.

Speaks volumes about IBM's commitment to the i5 when they take a former 
director of marketing for the iSeries (Al Zollar) and put him in charge of 
Tivoli and one of the first things he does is dump support for i5/os.
