You misunderstood - and I've should've used "seek time" instead of "search time". Iirc on harddrives this means the time between the read/write head is told to move to a position and when it's actually there. This *greatly* affects drive performance when dealing with multiple file operations at one time, or dealing with heavily fragmented files.

But yes, it also has an effect on filesearch, since filesystem meta information tends not to be located in one big blow, and thus read/write head movement is needed :)

Yep - and I misunderstood on purpose - that was just too good an opportunity to let it pass :)
