I trust real world experiences more than benchmarks ... either people on
this list have successfully run Cyrus under ESX or they haven't. I don't
want to be the first to try it.

iostat is not a benchmark, it's a tool to measure your I/O patterns (number of 
I/O's, size of transfers, etc)

while I understand your desire to have real-world experiance, you do need to 
know your usage patterns to size the system accordingly.
