better or similar performance. I recall a vintage of 2.6 where
they severely messed up the VM. Glad I didn't upgrade to that one :)
Here's the old post:

pgiosim doesn't really mix writes into there though, does it? The
mixed read/write situations are the ones where the scheduler stuff
gets messy.
It has the abillity to rewrite blocks randomly as well - but I
honestly don't remember if I did that during my cfq/deadline test.
I'd wager I didn't. Maybe I'll get some time to run some more tests
on it in the next couple days
