tiobench numbers on uniprocessor single disk IDE:
The cfq scheduler (2.5.62-mm2 and 2.5.61-cfq) has a big latency
regression.
2.5.61-mm1 (default scheduler (anticipatory?))
2.5.61-mm1-cfq elevator=cfq
2.5.62-mm2-as anticipatory scheduler
2.5.62-mm2-dline elevator=deadline
2.5.62-mm2 elevator=cfq

2.4.21-pre3aa1 8 18.55 71.95% 3.25 87.6
For most thread counts (8 - 128), the anticipatory scheduler has roughly
45% higher ext2 sequential read throughput. Latency was higher than
deadline, but a lot lower than cfq.
For tiobench sequential writes, the max latency numbers for 2.4.21-pre3
are notably lower than 2.5.62-mm2 (but not as good as 2.5.61-mm1).
This is with 16 threads.
