Start with 'simple' -- it has more error checking.  It sounds like
perf is failing at some point, so you get the crazy high numbers.
Then there's 'coll_perf'.   that also has better error reporting.

another explanation might be local caching.  The timing in those
benchmarks is only around the write calls I think.  Timing around
open/close might give the un-cached result.
