I'm not commenting on the test here (I've never done any testing of my
own and haven't really read up on it), but I thought this sentence was
interesting.  When it comes to disks, there are two things you can't
ignore - disk access is the biggest bottleneck in almost any system and
disks space is getting cheap.

I was caught off guard because I expected to read, "I didn't compare
space efficiency because all I cared about was performance."

Anyway, just thinking out loud.
