  This is a quadcore x86_64 system.
  
  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu 8.10
  Release:        8.10
  
  (Upgraded from 8.04)
  
  $ mount
  /dev/md1 on / type xfs (rw,relatime)
  
  Here are simple benchmarks, as I had 8.04 kernel available. All
  measurements done after a reboot to ensure cold caches.
