I am not convinced that this kind of test is of any value for comparing 
systems at all because there are too much factors involved - unless the 
competitors are installed on identical hardware. On the other side I think it 
is usefull to compare tweaked settings on a particular machine. For example 
you may change fsize/bsize of the filesystem or any other and can compare 
this results then.
