Did you add a secret sauce to 2.5.59-mm2? 10x sequential
write improvement on ext3 for multiple tiobench threads.

Quad P3 Xeon (4GB ram)
8 GB files
4K blocksize
32 threads
Rate = MB/sec
latency in milliseconds

Sequential Writes ext3
Avg Maximum Lat% Lat% CPU
Kernel Rate (CPU%) Latency Latency >2s >10s Eff
---------- ------------------------------------------------------------

2.5.59-mm2 32.39 34.28% 7.742 340597.62 0.04287 0.01765 94

Similar improvement for seq writes for 2, 4, 8, 16, 64, 128, 256 threads.

Sequential reads on ext3 with 2.5.59-mm2 improves around 3x for various
thread counts. Below is 32 threads.
