Having brough bonnie into this I must offer some words of caution.

Bonnie only has three seekers for the random seek test, which is potentialy
very different from a heavily loaded qmail/exim/apache box.

Most machines nowdays have a lot of RAM so large testfiles need to be used
to minimise cacheing effects (I have allways used -s 1024 but this takes
some time :-)
