if your file system places data inefficiently on disk/storage, you want
to measure this, too. If you're comparing file system speed, I think,
you should measure the whole thing and be sure to create comparable
data.
You can't really control, how your file system cache is filled.
Although I must say, measuring a the whole effort a few times
consecutively provides more reliable numbers (caution: but no
disk speed measurement).
