Thanks for this.  I suspect I wasn't really stressing my system when I
was evaluating it, and it was subjective.  I'm running a kernel with cfq
right now, but I will boot the noop kernel when I get a chance and test
it.  I suppose I could just switch to noop io scheduling instead.
Should be interesting.
