Sure,

before:
  write: io=589788KB, bw=122211KB/s, iops=3584 , runt=  4826msec
  bw (KB/s)  : min=24208, max=116272, per=57.47%, avg=70236.40, stdev=35496.33  
  WRITE: io=589788KB, aggrb=122210KB/s, minb=122210KB/s, maxb=122210KB/s, mint=4826msec, maxt=4826msec 

after:
  write: io=589788KB, bw=124244KB/s, iops=3530 , runt=  4747msec
  bw (KB/s)  : min=63496, max=117943, per=73.39%, avg=91184.20, stdev=20062.42
  WRITE: io=589788KB, aggrb=124244KB/s, minb=124244KB/s, maxb=124244KB/s, mint=4747msec, maxt=4747msec
