Here we are. This is with just a 200Mb journal (the partition
is only a little over 1Gb, and the datafiles grow fairly big,
so I didn't brave making it any bigger).

tuning? single ir mx-ir oltp mixed-oltp
(sec) (tps) (sec) (tps) (sec)
ext3 bn 1285.32 65.98 1996.41 90.05 307.79
ext3-wb bn 1287.31 98.42 2149.38 125.13 236.02
ext3-jd bn 1306.90 72.07 1813.54 125.15 305.27

The I/O load should be almost exclusively fsync-driven writes,
so I'm not sure how to account for the fact that the OLTP and
OLTP + misc (mostly read) activity give different numbers.

I'll try to find time to run these again tomorrow to convince
myself that all is sane, but these numbers are usually pretty
stable.
