ABSTRACT::
	Fast file systems are critical for high-performance scientific
computing, since many scientific applications have tremendous I/O
requirements. Many parallel supercomputers have only recently obtained
fully parallel I/O architectures and file systems, which are necessary
for scalable I/O performance. Scalability aside, I show here that many
systems lack sufficient absolute performance. I do this by surveying
the performance reported in the literature, summarized in an informal
table.
