Executive Summary
``````````````````
Comparing 'oread' with hdparm -tT on latest 2.4 vs 2.6 stable on
various x86 boxen. Performance drops for 2.6, sometimes:
2.4.31-hf1 2.6.12.2
peetoo: 26MB/s -> 20MB/s, oread similar 120GB + 80GB
silly: 22MB/s -> 8.5MB/s, oread similar 13GB
tosh: 35MB/s -> 23MB/s, oread similar 40GB 2.5"
pooh: 17MB/s -> 14MB/s, oread 30 -> 24 40GB
menace: 11.5MB/s -> 13MB/s, oread similar 6GB 2.5"
