Ok, finally got back into the office and was able to run 1 set of
tests.

So the new baseline result with 8.0.1:
        http://www.osdl.org/projects/dbt2dev/results/dev4-010/309/
        Throughput: 3639.97

Results with the patch but open_direct not set:
        http://www.osdl.org/projects/dbt2dev/results/dev4-010/308/
        Throughput: 3494.72

Results with the patch and open_direct set:
        http://www.osdl.org/projects/dbt2dev/results/dev4-010/312/
        Throughput: 3489.69

You can verify that the wall_sync_method is set to open_direct under
the "database parameters" link, but I'm wondering if I missed
something.  It looks a little odd the the performance dropped.
