IIRC the tests are run by someone from IBM, but I cannot remember
who it is.

Random Reads (raid, single-disk)
Start with 1024 files.
100 MB files on the raid system.
35 MB files on the single-disk system.
Each thread reads a fixed amount of data from a random location in one
file using 4 kB reads.
5 MB reads on the raid system.
1 MB reads on the single-disk system.
So it's not a small random read workload (100GB data set), so the
files on XFS are probably more spread out over multiple AGs
and hence further apart than other filesystems. Hence a greater
average seek distance, hence it slower throughput....

Yes, that would be an interesting comparison...
Cheers,
