Benchmark : dbench (filesystem stressor)
Varying parameter : number of clients
Unit : seconds (lower is better)
NOTE-1: This dbench version measures the average latency of a set of filesystem
operations, as we found the traditional dbench metric (throughput) to be
misleading.
NOTE-2: Due to high variability, we partition the original dataset and apply
statistical bootrapping (a resampling method). Accuracy is reported in the
form of 95% confidence intervals.
