Interesting. That contrasts with some tests I did a while back on a 
16-disc RAID-0, where noop, deadline, and anticipatory were all identical 
in performance, with cfq being significantly slower. Admittedly, the disc 
test was single-process, which is probably why the anticipatory behaviour 
didn't kick in. You are seeing a little bit of degradation with cfq - I 
guess it's worse the bigger the disc subsystem you have.
