We usualy do a burn-in test that continiously copies a linux source
tree to a new dir and compares it. And that with a few clients.
Also some benchmarks like bonnie with 1-x clients to see how it
scales.

For that I'm waiting for 2.6.18. I'm assuming you mean the openib2
driver in the vanilla kernel and not the (extra) melanox drivers. With
2.6.15 we patch in the melanox drivers.
