Nice. I had some thoughts on this. I noticed that Filebench and libMicro were similar, but different. I think it would be a Good Idea to converge on a common output format.
For example, I like the 'tattle' header from libMicro, which tells me absolutely everything I need to know (hopefully) about the configuration that we ran on (we might have to add some stuff that filebench users need to know?). And, I like the % calculation, so I can see at a glance how much different the numbers really are. libMicro also uses shades of green and red to indicate how far off the numbers are. Another possibility would be to recast the filebench tests *as* libMicro tests, to take advantage of the statistical convergence stuff that is in there (libMicro is pretty smart about minimizing the time it takes to come up with a statistically valid result). Anyway, might be some opportunity for common code there.
