Just as a polite question, since I'm very much in favor doing benchmarking and 
do appreciate these kinds of test.

You might want to add an introductory page to your results describing how you 
setup the test:
	Details of the hardware
	Details of the disk setup
	possible version and options with bonnie
	The script you used....

This would allow others to redo your experiment and try to figure out why their 
numbers are different.
