it may be useful if Randy can throw a real world test into the benchmarking, to get a better comparison of the various systems. The obvious one that springs to mind would be something like compilation of a large source tree kernel/mozilla/etc.. (same version, same config options every time). Though, as compilation is largely compute bound, instead of IO bound, the more small files that need to be read/generated the better.
Or maybe timing an updatedb. Its realworld enough in that its a daily task, generates lots of IO..
