Has the Reiser4 team looked at utilizing the OSDL Scalable Test Platform (STP) service to benchmark and test Reiser4 patches? They seem to offer a wide variety of hardware to test on, and already have some file system benchmarks available to choose from.
I noticed the Namesys benchmark page hasn't been updated in quite some time, understandably so, as benchmarking can be incredibly time consuming. Perhaps using the STP would make this much easier to do more frequently? It would be really nice to see how the batch_write/read(?) patches to the kernel affect things, and how Reiser4 performance progresses over time. I know Hans has mentioned CPU usage dropping in recent patches, but actual numbers from a benchmark are usually more compelling to see.
