in thread Wasting time thinking about wasted time
Generally working on a mounted filesystem for test one, then unmounting, then remounting, before running test two, eliminates cache issues for most OSes
I run these kind of benchmarks against my usb thumbdrive. Easy to mount, easy to unmount, and the drive's so fast that it tends to reduce or eliminate disk speed confusion in benchmarks
Cheers,
Erik
