On my side, I've been creating a specific ramfs that does the fio 
testing I want. This way I'm sure that nothing else is running on my 
system (like daemons or gui stuff).

That's a little bit extreme but it insures the same OS & environment to 
be used over & over making all my tests much more comparable over time.

My 2 cents,

Erwan,
