io-scheduler test with bonnie on compactflash (2.6.17)

[Helge Hafting <helgehaf@aitel.hist.no>]

I have a small pc which boots from a compactflash card.  I tested to
see if there were any significant differences between io scedulers
in this case.  Disk seeks are supposed to be a no-op in this case.

I post the results here in case someone is interested.

The machine has a via C3 nehemiah processor, and uses a 4GB 100x kingston 
compactflash card.  This card does 21MB/s when reading according to
hdparm (and 20MB/s according to the spec.) The card uses a
ide-compactflash converter, which supports udma2.

A nice little machine that I mostly use for car navigation
and mp3/ogg/cd-player.  The kernel is loaded 12s after power-on,
X shows itself after 35s, and my navigation software after 45s. :-)
