- dbench is a filesystem throughput test.
+ The dbench (disk) and tbench (TCP) benchmarks
+ dbench and tbench simulate the load of the
+ netbench "industry standard" benchmark used
+ to rate (windows) file servers. Unlike netbench,
+ they do not require a lab of Microsoft Windows
+ PCs: dbench produces the filesystem load on a
+ netbench run, and tbench produces the network
+ load, allowing simpler bottleneck isolation.
+
+ Note that this benchmark is *not* a realistic
+ reflection of normal server load.
