Poor SSD performance
I recently got an OCZ Vertex 2 60gb drive. I installed it, installed ubuntu 10.10 daily build from 23 or 24 September. It boots up blazingly fast. From the grub menu to a useable desktop takes about 9 seconds. (core 2 duo 9450 quad core @ 2.93ghz, 4gb ddr2 800)
The built in ubuntu disk utility benchmarks read speeds at 119 min, 243 avg, and 250 max MB/s. So... right on track.
But when I did the phoronix-test-suite benchmark disk-ssd, my results were horrible - http://global.phoronix-test-suite.co...1656-6460-3238
Also... my 64k 8gb iozone test got 114 MB/s and the same drive benchmarked by phoronix got 207 MB/s...
I've tried the noatime, discard mount options, tried the noop scheduler. I haven't turned off journaling yet, but I didn't think phoronix did either.
hdparm shows trim support
Performance seems great for real world use, but one of the reasons I bought it was for benchmarking... (yeah yeah) and those are horrible dbench and sqlite results.
Any help would be appreciated!
