DragonFly bad performance with RIAK benchmark

Hi Michael,

Thx for the tips, gonna check them. I myself doubt too that it's 
DragonFly or HAMMER2 :) My feeling is that erlang should be at least 
marginally faster on DragonFly/HAMMER2.

A guestion regarding the latest erlang/elixir: have you seen these error 
messages? They are annoying but don't affect overall operation.

```

16:26:59.500 [error] Bad output fd in erts_poll()! fd=22, 
port=#Port<0.5>, driver=spawn, name=/usr/local/bin/git

```

Perhaps I'll check these too.

Regards,

B.
