Same set of tests, only this time using a box with a lot more CPUs and
memory bandwidth. 'fio+' is fio with the fix for eliminating lseek(),
'fio' is without that fix.
App bs bandwidth
-----------------------------------------
dd 512 1.7GB/sec
fio 512 1.2GB/sec
fio+ 512 1.5GB/sec
dd 4k 6.6GB/sec
fio 4k 10.3GB/sec
fio+ 4k 12.4GB/sec
So dd is still faster for small blocks sizes, as expected. I don't think
there's any low hanging fruit left for fixing that. At 4k and higher the
impact should be neglible, so I don't think it's a huge problem. Most
real world testing is 4k or above.
