Yes, you need to test the syslet+testing branch that Ingo referenced.
Your test above is not totally fair right now, since you are doing
significantly less system calls with libaio. So to compare apples with
apples, try the syslet-testing branch. If you can't get it because of
firewall problems, check http://brick.kernel.dk/snaps/ for the latest
fio snapshot. If it has the syslet-testing branch, then that is
recent enough.
