+dbench is one of our standard kernel stress tests. It produces filesystem
+load like netbench originally did, but involves no network system calls.
+Its results include throughput rates, which can be used for performance
+analysis.
+
+More information on dbench can be found here:
+http://samba.org/ftp/tridge/dbench/README
+
+Currently it needs to be updated in its configuration. It is a great test for
+the higher level I/O systems but barely touches the disk right now.
