It take days, each experiment is 5 hours. Previous experiments on 2.6.8
shows that the sweet spot was 12.5ms.
This time on 2.6.11, it got pushed into 16 ms. Results comparing to 10ms:
8 ms -0.3%
10 ms --
12 ms +0.11%
16 ms +0.14%
20 ms +0.06%
12ms and up all has about 1.5% idle time. We are not anywhere near the
limits on what the disk storage can deliver. So there is a potential to
to tune/optimize the scheduler and reap these extra idle time.
