the master was practicing the art of windows defence when the student approached with a question.

"master soft," she asked, "is it true that the windows kernel can write to thousands of files per second?"

"it is," the master replied.

"are the open calls finishing quickly?" the master enquired.

"yes," the student confirmed.

"and the write calls, too?"

"yes."

the master smiled. "then the windows kernel is writing to thousands of files per second."
