Default UFS asynchronous

Hi,
I have performed some file-system performance test (Bonnie) on a SunOS
5.6 machine with UFS (default options). I noticed that this test pass most
of the time in a WAIT state and the final result is that it use just a
40-60% of CPU. The same test on a Linux machine with ext2 uses all the CPU
available.

So I think that UFS (my configuration) performs all the file operation in a
sync mode. Am I correct? There is a setting to force an async mode (I didn't
found anything about async in sun docs) in order to have results comparable
to ext2 fs?

Thanks in advance,
Giambattista Bloisi
