All true, of course. However, if you ran all of them on the same chunk of
hardware, at least the hardware differences would be factored out and the
results would be interesting to see, even if not necessarily indicative
of the effects of the different file system structures and their
implementations, imho.

I'd like to see the talk, but there ain't no way I get to go there:-), rick
