With a scaling factor of 50, your database size is ~ 1 GB, which fits 
comfortably in your RAM. You're not exercising your drives or filesystem 
much. Assuming you haven't disabled fsync, the performance of that test 
is bound by the speed your drives can flush WAL commit records to disk.

I wouldn't expect the filesystem to make a big difference anyway, but 
you'll see..
