   The file content is mostly zero, but no compression is done.

   You can choose to only benchmark read or write.
   During write, the list of uploaded file ids is stored in "-list" specified file.
   You can also use your own list of file ids to run read test.
   
   Write speed and read speed will be collected.
   The numbers are used to get a sense of the system.
