Tiotest is still just an infant. If there are suggestions how to make
tiotest better and more complete benchmark, please let them flow :)

If someone wants to insert bonnie functionality into tiotests threaded
core, be welcome. I don't know how bonnie is licenced but tiotest is GPL.

What i know of bonnie, the tiotest with one-thread-only-mode (-t 1) is
almost similar. Ofcourse without the character based stuff James
mentioned and without the rewrite part. Those could be added
if someone wants them.
