Is there a "what to do before you make a bug report" FAQ?  If not, we 
need one.



1. If I'm having performance issues, what sorts of tests should I run 
before reporting?

1.1. If it's an I/O performance problem, try entering 
"elevator=deadline" at the lilo boot prompt and see what difference it 
makes.
