Nice little machine.  I wonder if you'd get some of the bonnie numbers
increased if you ran multiple bonnie's in parallel.  Even though the
sequential throughput is near 100MB/sec, using both CPU cores might
push more random IOP's than a single-threaded bonnie can go.  This
was certainly the case on an UltraSPARC-T1 (1GHz) here -- not known
for single-threaded speed, but good multithreaded throughput.  I ran
three bonnie++'s together, using "-p 3" to initialize a semaphore,
and "-y" on the three measurement runs to synchronize their startup.

Regards,

Marion
