Hi Christo, thanks for the suggestion. I did eventually end up doing a
full Oracle install and created a test database with
filesystemio_options=setall. Too bad orion doesn't support directio -
hopefully they'll add it in a future release. Another workaround I used
for testing with orion to prevent caching was to flush the linux cache
immediately before the test by either creating a file larger than my RAM
and then deleting it, or using this trick on OEL5:
http://linux-mm.org/Drop_Caches (just be careful not to use that on
OEL4, or it may freeze the box like it did for me and you'll have to
reboot).
Regards,
Brandon

p.s.
why not test directly from Oracle? Just do a index lookup in a loop
with several sessions.
