How many instances of postmark are you running? I used 4 separate
instances (you must run them in separate directories).
How fast are your disks? I used an external RAID-5 array that appears
as single disk to FreeBSD. It is RAID-5, so the performance isn't that
great for writing. I think my virtual disk is quite slow. If your system
has fast disks, run more instances of postmark.

Well, I lost last nights panic because of fsck complaining about several
million unreferenced files. I'm going to log to disk next time.
