These results are interesting and useful, but I think "trounces" is a poor 
description for what XFS does.

Not using barriers undermines data consistency guarantees, I think it is best 
to ignore the 2.6.35-rc5-autokern1-ext3-*-ext3, 2.6.35-rc5-autokern1-ext4-*-
ext4-nobarrier, and 2.6.35-rc5-autokern1-xfs-*-xfx-nobarrier entries.

So that btrfs doesn't remain the only filesystem with 2 entries, I'll also 
ignore the 2.6.35-rc5-autokern1-btrfs-*-btrfs-nocow entry, as it is non-
default.

On the graphs, XFS is, respectively:
2nd, 4th, 2nd, 4th

I wouldn't say that is a "trouncing", since it doesn't even win in many 
categories.
