+Bonnie++ is a benchmark suite that is aimed at performing a number of
+simple tests of hard drive and file system performance. Then you can
+decide which test is important and decide how to compare different
+systems after running it. I have no plans to ever have it produce a
+single number, because I don't think that a single number can be useful
+when comparing such things.
+
+The main program tests database type access to a single file (or a set
+of files if you wish to test more than 1G of storage), and it tests
+creation, reading, and deleting of small files which can simulate the
+usage of programs such as Squid, INN, or Maildir format email.
