Benchmarking Linux 3.16 File-Systems On An SSD

With the Threaded I/O Tester, the results were rather unchanged between Linux 3.15 and 3.16 Git for EXT4/Btrfs/XFS.

The only CompileBench results to note is the compile task regressing for EXT4 on Linux 3.16 while F2FS was faster, but aside from that in the tests there were no major changes.

From the eight tests run for this early file-system testing of Linux 3.16, there isn't anything too widespread and dramatic. However, for a few tests EXT4 did regress in the latest mainline kernel Git code from earlier this month while Samsung's Flash-Friendly file-system had a few wins to show for the new kernel code. Stay tuned for the Btrfs tests and HDD Linux 3.16 benchmarks in July.
