Yes, if they had used different mkfs options and mount options than the
default then they could have made their tests go faster. I am not
implying that they did or did not know they existed.
The reason these options are not the default is that unless you are going
to be pounding on the filesystem in a metadata intensive manner they will
have a negative effect. A bigger log means slower mount and recovery, more
incore log buffers means more memory chewed up.
