Comment:

 Very good idea to make this report part of the documentation - as well as
 giving us a framework and a start on the performance documentation, it
 means that we don't throw away any work.

 I've made some editorial changes to the English and formatting and have
 pushed them to the repository.

 Regarding content:

 * I think that "synchronous" and "asynchronous" should be explained
 somewhere (i.e. "synchronous" involves a disk write after each
 create/update/delete operation.)  This clarifies what they mean in this
 context.

 * I'm not certain what was meant by the last sentence in the introduction
 to 3.4 ("This approach takes advantage of the fact that simple append is
 faster than edition with potential whole file relocation.")

 * The numbers in the tables can be restricted to three significant figures
 to improve readability without loss of any significant information.
