Excellent.

-Rstripe= could be helpful... since you have numbers w/o it, it'd
be interesting to see any diff. (it shouldn't make a diff in the
4k chunk size case, but cover it anyway if possible, just to see :)
Since it (afaik) is the number of ext2 blocks gathered before
the ll_rw_blk down to the lower level, it should help efficiency.

something else possibly worth pursuing...
I'm going to try adding a --numruns flag for tiobench so we can have an
automated facility for averaging over a number of runs. I believe the
dip at 4 threads is read, but it's worth adding anyway :)
