Thanks for sharing your script. Looking at the gnuplot output (again,
thanks for the gnuplot quick hint :) ), I saw it is capped around 7.26
GiB/s, with block size around 300,000-400,000 (that means 293 - 391
KiB, right?)

It's 2.6.36 btw...

I think major factor that involve here, but not limited to them, are:
- L1/L2/L3 cache size
- slab allocator we use
- current memory fragmentation level
- read ahead size
