Fat32 vs HFS+ Performance
Authored by: MartySells on Jul 29, '04 09:14:44AM
I did some benchmarking of FAT32 compared with HFS+ which are available here.

There is a performance hit for FAT32 compared with HFS+. Copying about 1G of 10mb files takes 90 seconds on HFS and 167 seconds on FAT32. Writing to FAT32 partitions appears to be much slower but reading is pretty close.
