I'm having a tough time with these read/write numbers. I never know
whether there is a regression or not due to the large variances in the
numbers reported. For example, for the read/write workload at
concurrency level 16, the numbers have been:

1121 2089
1122 2065
1124 2588
1125 2056
1126 2061

So it looks like there was a big spike in performance for the run on
revision 1125. I've seen this happen before for branches I've ran
through the benchmark system myself (I got up to 2600 one time on the
read/write workload at concurrency level 16). In fact, 2 different
runs of the same branch can produce variances in numbers like this.

Basically, I'm not entirely convinced there is a regression here. But
then again, its hard to make any sort of conclusion from these
numbers. Is there an acceptable variance in the numbers that we are
willing to live with? Is there a threshold in the variance over which
we will consider a regression to have occurred? Could we record
variances along with what we are already storing?
