Arthur,

  Thank you for taking the time to do these tests. At least this provides a bit
of real-world performance data to consider. Please provide a link to the
no-debug LSM enabled kernel data when you have shaved twice-more. I'll see if I
can make a graph or two from the postmark-test.ods file. (my arts & crafts
skills are a bit rusty, so no promises)
