I also did some tests when I was putting together my Synchronized Scan benchmarks: http://j-davis.com/postgresql/83v82_scans.html CFQ was so slow that I didn't include it in the results at all. The tests weren't intended to compare schedulers, so I did most of the tests with anticipatory (at least the ones on linux; I also tested freebsd). However, I have some raw data from the tests I did run with CFQ: http://j-davis.com/postgresql/results/ They will take some interpretation (again, not intended as scheduler benchmarks). The server was modified to record a log message every N page accesses.
