Just a simple question:

What was the performance like when you imported the database from tape;

That is, how much longer did it take to import the database from tape versus importing it from disk?

We always thought that the performance of importing from tape is prohibitive since, while importing, the dump file is not read sequentially.

Thanks in advance for your information.
