A laptop with a fully charged battery?  :)

Thanks for the flexible I/O tester idea.  Would it be possible to mount bcache 
to a file stored in /dev/shm? 

Mostly I am curious as to whether bcache would do better than Linux's other 
RAM based caching of filesystem data.

Thanks for the ideas and the code!
Chad.
