Please don't forget to include a chapter where users may append their
performance results done by bonnie++. They should include their setup:
Mainboard, Controller, RAM, CPU(s), HDs, filesystem used, command used,
kernel version, driver version, firmware version.

To make results comparable we could even propose a certain bonnie++ command.

Why include such stats?
Users could search their similar hw setup and compare their statistics
with the one's from the wiki, so they know if tuning helped them or not.
Regards,
Michael
