Hmmm... my memory was making thing much better than they really are.
It's around 38 seconds with 2.6.18 (before the "batch I/O requests"
change); it's several minutes with unpatched 2.6.24, and it's around 7
seconds with patched 2.6.24...
To be more honnest, my patch contains a part similar to Steve
VanDeBogart's "ubd does multiple io's when one will suffice" patch.
Using 2.6.24 with his patch but still serialized I/O, the time is around
23 seconds.
Hence, my patch (with 16 threads per device) make things around 3 times
faster.
Cheers,
