8The spew package is used to test I/O performance and to generate load
9on character devices, block devices, and file systems.  It is similar
10to the lmdd program found in the lmbench test-suite
11(http://www.bitmover.com/lmbench). It is a bit easier to use than lmdd
12and has some added functionality.  For example, it can test both
13random and sequential I/O.
