"I'm not familiar with fund performance, except to know that 80% of the funds under perform the market." Do you mean that funds constituted of short-term treasuries under-perform the market? I am sure that's true since automatically any management fee whatever would cut yields. But as I have just found, the bid-ask spread for private investors makes trading the straight long-term treasuries extremely expensive in comparison with stocks (at least the strips)--I guess because a real round lot must be at least a million dollars. I haven't checked what Quick and Reilly's fee is on their government money market fund but I expect it's pretty low.
