Ops/sec is always the first graph.
CPU% is always the second graph.
MB/sec is always the third graph.
Mail server simulation has a second MB/sec graph.
Efficiency (Ops/CPU%) is always the last graph.

I converted the graphs to ballots manually, so I took into account that short 
bars where better on that graph.

Agreed.

Based only on Ops/sec (first graph), the results are:

1. jfs
2. ext4-nobarrier
3. xfs-nobarrier
4. ext3
5. ext4
5. xfs
(tie)
7. btrfs-nocow
8. ext3-barrier
9. btrfs

Ballots used attached.
