The filesystems benchmarks don't specify which performance numbers
relate to which filesystem.  Specifically, was linux/ext2fs run against
NetBSD/ext2fs or NetBSD/ffs?  Comparing ext2fs numbers to ffs numbers
may not be entirely fair.

I'm ecstatic that NetBSD did as well as it did, but curious about the
details.
