Some Performance Tests

I'm moving the thread to this list (is the OBFS list still in existence? 
sending a mail to it bounced and it isn't listed on the website) to not 
bother the admins not interested in this technical issue anymore. I've 
inserted the results for the Create/Delete test for the same BFS partition, 
just initialized *with* indices. The drop in performance is worrisome IMHO. 
The Raw Write and Find results are, as expected, virtually identical, so I 
left them out.

For Haiku/OBFS the Create/Delete test hits KDL, unfortunately. I hope this 
will be fixed in the not too distant future, since I'm quite interested to 
see how Haiku fares.

CU, Ingo
