Benchmark for image reading for different libraries.

I/O benchmark

I/O benchmark for different image processing python libraries.

To calculate the I/O speed of your SSD/HDD in Linux

sudo apt-get install hdparm

sudo hdparm -Tt <disk_id>

where disk_id is of the type /dev/sda

As a result you may expect something like:

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   26114 MB in  1.99 seconds = 13122.03 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads: 1062 MB in  3.00 seconds = 353.70 MB/sec
