Update Filesystem Benchmarking to be more strict

Drew Blessing requested to merge strict_fs_benchmarks into master

Early results indicated that 10-20 second benchmarks on FS writes would be acceptable but not the best. In the last few weeks we've seen a couple of customers that had just over 10 second results from this test and had horrible GitLab performance.

As a result, let's tighten up our benchmarks and add a note about the naivety of this test. Since local SSD can write these files in less than 1 second, allowing up to 10 seconds for 'best' performance seems like a relatively huge range, still.
