Ok, that was it apparently.  Even with it enabled, I get 25000 blips, which
don't makes sense to me.  Its a p4 at 3.0 ghz with hyper thread disabled,
software 3d, etc.  I suppose I could try a pci graphics card over the pci
express card.  When I enabled hardware 3d, I got latencies in the 200K
range.

My old p4 1.3ghz got better than this machine, but I got tired of waiting
on it.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing 
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
