It'd be interesting to add in some read-only operations (e.g., tar to /dev/null) because, in general, filesystems trade off expensive writes vs expensive reads. Especially as the disk gets fuller. (What I mean is that filesystems that do more work to optimise disk layout will be slower to write, but should be faster to read. And `easy' optimisations for disk layout get harder as the disk gets fuller and fragmented).
So the other thing that'd be interesting to test is doing the same thing after having pre-fragmented the disk in some predictable way.
