fseek读，到底有多快！

常听人说，fseek很快!到底多快？如果不知道多快，就一个劲的争论很快！好像不必担心的快一样。这种常识性的东西不知道，妄谈系统设计，就会出笑话的。下面做个实验，测测fseek的量级。

测试的方法：
    1. 一个文件512M
    2. 一个线程对应一个文件，然后在这个文件里边进行rand fseek,然后读1K字节

    每秒不到1000次。
   
   
    也就是说：如果要是seek读，每次读1K，只有1M/秒。
   
    (这个结论只供参考)
    
   
也可以把这个实验扩展，
    比如：如果必须seek，那么读多少数据才是最经济的？
   
这些经常用到的性能参数是非常有用的。那往往都是一个系统的瓶颈所在。
