Back to -test9
Also used only noop. Does not make much of a difference as i do not wish to claim it is better ;)
Request queue size above 128 does not make a significant difference either.
I'd say going down to 4 still works about as well in terms of total throughput.
And it is still bloody impossible to make the disk LED stay on.
I'll be back with "measurements" by weekend.

Michael
