Note that, currently, it's better to have MORE smaller machines (2/4 cpu) than big ones. Until we get better SMP support... Our NFS support is probably going to peak around 8 boxen, for now. Having those boxes would really really help VFS people and SMP people get a better idea of the contentions dpb faces...
