Subject[Bench] Slow tiotest read in Kernel 2.2.16+
Ive been seeing poor read results from tiotest in recent 2.2 kernels
since 2.2.16.
The performance is fine with 1 thread but slows right down with 8.
I include the tiotest results here but I see similar results with iozone
-t.


Kernel 2.2.15

[robert@testmac25 robert]$ tiotest -f 30 -t 8 -r 0
Tiotest results for 8 concurrent io threads:
