=================================
FEW BIG FILES TEST ON BTRFS v0.13
=================================

Completely cold caches:

	[root at andromeda ~]# time cat /warthog/bigfile >/dev/null
	real    0m2.202s
	user    0m0.000s
	sys     0m1.716s
	[root at andromeda ~]# time cat /warthog/biggerfile >/dev/null
	real    0m4.212s
	user    0m0.000s
	sys     0m0.896s

Warm BTRFS pagecache, cold NFS pagecache:

	[root at andromeda ~]# time cat /warthog/bigfile >/dev/null
