The difference between guarded and writeback in chunk-4096 looking at
your desktop timings and your single user times is.... surprising.
In particular, the fact that the guarded time is 3 times longer than
ext3-writeback when the desktop is running, and 20% faster in single
user mode. Are these results reproducible? And do you have any
thoughts as to what might be causing them?
