And what about the BFS scheduler? I know, that it isn't in the mainline kernel, bit I've heard a lot of good about that. If you send me the size and the number of the test files, I'll make an other benchmark with the CFQ, the Deadline and the BFS scheduler on a Dual Core machine. :-) -- Szénási

BFS is a CPU scheduler, CFQ, Deadline, No-Op, and Anticipatory are all I/O schedulers... Sorry, I've realized that when I googled for benchmarks and it was compiled against the CFS scheduler. :-) -- Szénási István
