Can't be true for all workload, if you are doing random io or sequential io.

(generally I limit the bandwith for sequential workload and iops for random workload)

Yes, good idea !

OK

I would simply like to have (additionally) some simpler setting witch usually fits 
most user's needs, for example a simple bandwidth: 

bwlimit = 100MB/s 

form that you can compute IO_OPS/s (assuming an artificial block size of 32k): 

io_ops = bwlimit/32k 

and burst values: assume we want to burst traffic from within 10 seconds: 

burst = bwlimit*10s 

but maybe this is an over-simplification?

Or an extra button (IO Limits) with separate dialog?
