sry for delay.. ok, so it's not so bad afterall ;-)
thanks a lot for running the test

I need to rewrite some parts of it for the next post,
but I'd hate to lose your aio implementation and the
possibility to easily compare it against threaded
implementation

I think we are able to keep it along under --aio option
together with current (sync) write implementation and
future threads implementation.. could you make it available
only under --aio option (or such) and repost?

thanks,
