Paolo gave a very detailed data analysis. Indeed, in some low queue depth
scenarios, the data dropped somewhat. However, I suspect that it may be 
caused by other problems (such as test fluctuations) rather than the benefits 
brought by deadline. 

BTW, I think 128 queue depth test is a very important and common performance
test item for storage devices.

Thanks,
Li
