I think that as a point of comparison it has value. That is
one of the reasons that these are automatically run on STP.
(Sorry for the long URL)
However it would be nice to see the code updated for a
different environment that the assumed VAX 11/780. As
that was the original baseline for the test. Block sizes,
and maybe things like making fakeh.tar to something like
the 2.4.19 kernel. This has been discussed a couple of
times I think that it will just take some body to lead
it. If you need equipment to test this on larger machines
we have some available.
