That's a great paper, I enjoyed reading it. I would
almost suggest forwarding it to the LKML, expecially
the part about dd cache spoiling. Good benchmarks can
impact the way kernel developers think. You never
know, with a good benchmark to show a specific
problem, you might find a fix for that dd spoiling
soon. :)
