I doubt it. FAT has it's metadata at the start of the disk.
That's a LONG seek if you're near the end. UFS and ext2 are
better in this respect. (both of these are *simple*, too. They
just look more complicated than FAT because they are badly
documented, hehe)
Also, XFS allows you to guarantee bandwidth (on irix). That
said, it's probably more conservative, but I've never played
with it.
