As a "customer" aka tester I want to see any benefit means for most power-users: Do I get some speedups? That's the main background of my askings. As said here I am running Ubuntu as a WUBI-installation. This system is predestinated for testing loop improvements. So again and no sorry: How can I test reliable speed improvements? I remember linux-fs/linux-xfs folks have a tool could be named "xfstests" (note2myself: more coffee!).
