When testing our new DB box just last month, we saw a big improvement in
bonnie++ random I/O rates when using the noop scheduler instead of cfq
(or any other). We've got RAID 10/12 on a 3ware card w/ battery-backed
cache; 7200rpm drives. Our file system is XFS with
noatime,nobarrier,logbufs=8,logbsize=256k. How much is "big?" I can't
find my notes for it, but I recall that the difference was large enough
to surprise us. We're running with noop in production right now. No
complaints.
