I might have gone with a dual-proc, simply because they seem to be the
server config of choice around here, but that may not hold true for your
own needs.

It gives you a mix of in-memory and on-disk operations. The on-disk work
is worth noting -- it tells you how well the FS handles/causes
fragmentation. FAT, WAFL, and Tux2, for instance, would probably do very
poorly on random reads, since they tend to have a lot of fragmentation.
WAFL and Tux2, on the other hand, should slaughter everyone on random
writes.
