Linux 3.7 File-System Benchmarks: EXT4, Btrfs, XFS

EXT4 was a strong contender for the Threaded I/O Tester.

Btrfs was much slower than EXT4 and XFS for the initial create test within Compile Bench.

For this single-drive SSD notebook, EXT4 tended to still be a faster file-system than Btrfs and XFS on the forthcoming Linux 3.7 kernel. Other HDD and multi-disk benchmark results under Linux are forthcoming.
