For 2.6 AS comes out on top. It seems though that AS may be at least
partially responsible for the exploding variance of run times for
qsbench.
I don't think we can compare 2.4 and 2.6 I/O schedulers for these
loads. The io scheduler can do only so much if the VM evicts the
wrong pages.
Average, times for ten runs (in seconds, ordered).

Agree, in case of a thrashing vm it's an impossible job.
