    	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.
