It's difficult to test IO performance. One way to 'stabilize' such
measurements would be to create a 'make test io' variant, which
builds not just a simple 'Hello World!' but also an IO performance
benchmark.
The advantage of such an approach (beyond the fun of writing it)
would be that it's executed at a very predictable point in the bootup
sequence, so if you keep the whole disk image in ramdisk (in
/dev/shm/ for example) then it would allow very precise measurements
that converge very quickly with very little noise.
Thanks,
