Im in the middle of a priority issue right now, so cant take time out to rerun
the bench, but...
Usually in that kind of situation, if you dont turn on sync-to-disk on every
write, you get benchmarks that are artificially HIGH.
Forcing O_DIRECT slows throughput down.
Dont you think the results are bad enough already? :-}

Hi,
At first glance it appears that the filebench OLTP workload does not use
O_DIRECT, so this isn't a measurement of pure disk I/O performance:
https://github.com/filebench/filebench/blob/master/workloads/oltp.f
If you suspect that disk performance is the issue please run a benchmark
that bypasses the page cache using O_DIRECT.
The fio setting is direct=1.
Here is an example fio job for 70% read/30% write 4KB random I/O:
[global]
filename=/path/to/device
runtime=120
ioengine=libaio
direct=1
ramp_time=10 # start measuring after warm-up time
[read]
readwrite=randrw
rwmixread=70
rwmixwrite=30
iodepth=64
blocksize=4k
