Similar.  I used compilebench -i 30 -r 0, which means create 30 initial
kernel trees and then do nothing.  compilebench simulates compiles by
writing to the FS files of the same size that you would get by creating
kernel trees or compiling them.

The idea is to get all of the IO without needing to keep 2.6.28.tar.bz2
in cache or the compiler using up CPU.
