-  - When comparing performance with other filesystems, remember that
-    ext3/4 by default offers higher data integrity guarantees than most.
-    So when comparing with a metadata-only journalling filesystem, such
-    as ext3, use `mount -o data=writeback'.  And you might as well use
-    `mount -o nobh' too along with it.  Making the journal larger than
-    the mke2fs default often helps performance with metadata-intensive
-    workloads.
+  - When comparing performance with other filesystems, it's always
+    important to try multiple workloads; very often a subtle change in a
+    workload parameter can completely change the ranking of which
+    filesystems do well compared to others.  When comparing versus ext3,
+    note that ext4 enables write barriers by default, while ext3 does
+    not enable write barriers by default.  So it is useful to use
+    explicitly specify whether barriers are enabled or not when via the
+    '-o barriers=[0|1]' mount option for both ext3 and ext4 filesystems
+    for a fair comparison.  When tuning ext3 for best benchmark numbers,
+    it is often worthwhile to try changing the data journaling mode; '-o
+    data=writeback,nobh' can be faster for some workloads.  (Note
+    however that running mounted with data=writeback can potentially
+    leave stale data exposed in recently written files in case of an
+    unclean shutdown, which could be a security exposure in some
+    situations.)  Configuring the filesystem with a large journal can
+    also be helpful for metadata-intensive workloads.

+max_batch_time=usec	Maximum amount of time ext4 should wait for

+			for the speed of the disk, by measuring the
+			amount of time (on average) that it takes to
+			finish committing a transaction.  Call this time
+			the "commit time".  If the time that the
+			transactoin has been running is less than the
+			commit time, ext4 will try sleeping for the
+			commit time to see if other operations will join
+			the transaction.   The commit time is capped by
+			the max_batch_time, which defaults to 15000us
+			(15ms).   This optimization can be turned off
+			entirely by setting max_batch_time to 0.
+
+min_batch_time=usec	This parameter sets the commit time (as
