   Yes, clueless.  Your earlier message had two mistakes.

   One is your claim of exactly the opposite of the page to which you =
now refer.  The page to which you referred clearly describes the =
conversion in Windows XP as improved over Windows 2000.

   The other is a claim of "piglike performance" due to small cluster =
size.  Again the page to which you referred describes how FAT (though =
they must mean FAT32) cluster size is often 512 bytes.  The = fragmentation
and other performance issues to small cluster size just as = much if not
more to FAT.  If you didn't think the performance was = "piglike"
before why are you whining now?
