When the logbufs and logbsize options are added, throughput increases from
92.7404 MB/sec to 96.4556 MB/sec. When the log is moved to an external
device the throughput nearly doubles to 182.083 MB/sec. Clearly, the
external log increases file system performance under dbench, a program that
has a large amount of metadata activity.

has anyone done any recent testing?
