I have a test program to create and write many files of the same size. The following log shows a test of writing 2000 files of size 100 bytes.
I repeatly write 2000 files and deleted all the files and do the same again. The write time increases any time I repeat the cycle. Is it the behavior that we expect? I thought the time should be almost the same.
Does it mean the writing will be slower if there are a lot of writing, reading and deleting? I am writing a stress test to verify that.
