Similar test as before. I had to re-upload the files so comparing
against last time isn't really apples-apples.

Disk is a cciss logical drive consisting of 12 SATA drives in a RAID6
configuration with 128K stripes.

Test case 1 is to read 1 million random 40K files (no file is read
more than once), 16 4K iocbs at a time, 100 threads.

Test case 2 is the same except 100,000 128K files are read.

Unit of measure is "files read per second".


40K

Hope it helps.
