Does the below sentence make sense?

"In those experiments, the measured time concerned the time to load the data on an A filesystem, regarding X systems, and on a database B, regarding Y systems."

What I mean is something like this:
Some experiments were conducted.
For the X systems, the time was regarding the loading on the A filesystem.
For the Y systems, the time was regarding the loading into a database B.

Pasq In those experiments, the measured time concerned the time to load the data on an A filesystem, regarding X systems, and on a database B, regarding Y systems. The reader might be able to make sense of this, but it seems to be trying to put too much into one sentence. Still, you might make it more understandable by using so much ellipsis (leaving out words).
