It seems to be a mixed chart. Performance gains at some places and loss at others. I am curious about that -7.0% for normal writes. Not sure what can contribute to that. What was the value of "fairness" parameter when you ran those tests? Can you please set fairness = 0 and re-run the tests (if you have already not done so). By default fairness is set to 1 in V6. With fairness = 0, we should be very close to existing CFQ behavior. If not, then we need to dive deeper and see why variations are happening. Is it also possible to run the same tests with V7.
