Hi,

the reason why there a two versions of iozone can be found in iozone21's
pkg-descr:

[...]
This is the 2.1 version of iozone.  The new 3.x+ versions of iozone have
completely changed their testing methods, thus their output is useless
in comparing with older statistics.
[...]

Of course, this message was added Sun Jan 9 22:51:21 2000 UTC, so maybe
your idea of retiring the port is still right.

Simon
