While I don't want to get into how useful or useless their tests are, it
would have been nice to see those same tests with a different scheduler,
to see if it made any impact. Especially in the blogbench case it made a
huge difference during my initial testing.

Overall I think our I/O performance has improved a lot since previous
releases and we are at a comparable level to, at least, other BSDs. All
of this is anecdotal evidence and gut feeling of course :)
