I'm not commenting on the test here (I've never done any testing of my own and haven't really read up on it), but I thought this sentence was interesting. When it comes to disks, there are two things you can't ignore - disk access is the biggest bottleneck in almost any system and disks space is getting cheap. I was caught off guard because I expected to read, "I didn't compare space efficiency because all I cared about was performance." Anyway, just thinking out loud.
