2.5.64-mm4 tiobench (as vs dl)

[Nick Piggin <piggin@cyberone.com.au>]

Hi All,
We are making progress in the IO scheduler department. No benchmarks to the
list for a while so here is everyone's favourite (formatted for 
readability).

If you are interested in IO performance, please try out the latest mm tree
and test as vs. deadline. If AS damages important your IO loads, please
report them to me and Andrew. Thanks.


UP PIII 1.0GHz 256MB
Kernel is plain 2.5.64-mm4

Antched-8192 is simply Antsched with 8192 request slots each for reads
and writes. It is there for interest - it hits platter speed on my rusty
old IDE disk in the seq tests. Other results have standard number of
requests.

File (set) size is 512MB
