I am using the latest version of JetStress (with GUI. Version 6.5.7408.2) to
test the disk subsystem of my clustered SAN environment (W2K3 / E2K3).
However the reported database creation times in the JetStress documentation
relates to about 1.4Gb/min. My findings though are nothing like this. I
managed to build a 4 x Storage Group JetStress environment in 50 hours, which
is way longer than expected. Admittedly the DB's were 60Gb each, but I still
think the base build time shouldnt take this long and certainly took longer
than the prescribed time.

Anyone else finding JetStress takes forever to build these DB's? I'm sure
it's not a disk bottleneck, in case anyone asks!
