+Filebench is quick to set up and use unlike many of the commercial
+benchmarks which it can emulate. It is also a handy tool for
+micro-benchmarking storage subsystems and studying the relationships of
+complex applications such as relational databases with their storage
+without having to incur the costs of setting up those applications,
+loading data and so forth.
+
+Filebench uses loadable workload personalities in a common framework to
+allow easy emulation of complex applications upon file systems. The
+workload personalities use a Workload Definition Language to define the
+workload's model.
