CSCAN vs CFQ I/O scheduler benchmark results

[Vishal Patil]

Hello

I ran the sysbench benchmark to compare the CSCAN I/O scheduler
against the CFQ scheduler and following are the results. The results
are interesting especially in case of sequential writes and the random
workloads

                                           Latency (seconds)

              seq            seq         seq             rnd
rnd         rnd
              reads         writes      r + w          reads
writes      r + w

CSCAN    0.0148      0.0092      0.0169      0.1043      0.0473      0.0732


                                          Throughput (MB/seconds)

               seq            seq         seq             rnd
