These are great looking numbers.  So great that I was inspired to create 
a PerformanceWork[1] topic in the AFSLore Wiki.  I've extracted little 
entries for the two tools you used afsfsperf and PostMark into their own 
sections.  I added sections for the Andrew Benchmark and the NFS vs AFS 
numbers from the FAQ.

I also added a section for Jimmy's numbers from  Arla.  But some conext 
on those would be useful.

All you benchmarking guys out there should check out the Wiki page and 
add pointers to your favorite studies.
