Yeah, I also want to know hardware. Also, what size of partition?  And
each test was done by fresh FS (i.e. after mkfs), or same FS was used
through all tests?

My "hirofumi" branch in public repo is still having the bug to leave the
empty block for inodes by repeat of create and unlink. And this bug
makes fragment of FS very fast. (This bug is what I'm fixing, now.)

If same FS was used, your test might hit to this bug.

Thanks.
