Thanks for that. Although various systems could probably range from
first-class enterprise storage level to the cheap (oversold) VPS level,
this still shows a tremendous difference in performance.

Here is today's run:

--- /tmp (ufs /dev/ada0s1a) ioping statistics ---
352 requests completed in 4.1 s, 86 iops, 345.9 KiB/s
min/avg/max/mdev = 9 us / 11.6 ms / 1.5 s / 85.1 ms

What I find especially troublesome is the maximum request time of 1.5s
(yesterday's run 681ms). Also the mean deviation seems way too big (85.1ms,
yesterday 128.2ms - this is Internet-level latency).

I guess I'll have to talk to my VPS provider, though I regret not having
taken these statistics before the 10.0 upgrade as well.
