a) Not twice,just ~+20%. b) There is _significant_ improvement over EIDE..
It saves CPU cycles - and when it comes to swap.. I have a EIDE linux machine -
it looks terrible being compared with nearly similar SCSI one. I get load 
level ~3 on first one and ~1.1 on second with the same conditions.

..and.. 7 is more than 2 (or 14 is more than 4). 

and SCSI is not just a disk subsystem,it is general purpose peripherial
interface. And it exists beyond PC world.
