The lower aggregate throughput of bfq is due to the fact that, because of the higher number of movies being read, a higher percentage of not-that-profitable accesses is being performed under bfq wrt to cfq. As shown in the complete logs of the aggregate throughput in the raw results, the aggregate throughput with bfq and cfq is practically the same when the number of movies is the same. The figure in the "Aggregate throughput" subsection is probably best suited for a comparison of the performance of the two schedulers with sequential accesses under the same conditions (the figure refers to the 2, 128 MB long, files, but we got virtually the same results in all the other tests). I do agree on that these experiments should be repeated with different (faster) devices.
