That is expected and intentional. Previously, `iozone -B' was able to
swamp the whole machine with dirty memory. That gives good benchmark
numbers, but causes everything else on the machine to be adversely
affected.
The new behaviour will punish iozone for being bad, and will hopefully
cause less damage to other applications.
