Instead of wasting your time with BS benchmarks,
why not write a little script that does actual
queries that you might be doing on a real, fully
populated database? And make sure you test with 1
cpu. I don't see any "scaling" from 1 cpu to 2,
so I can't get too excited about supersmack's
miniscule scaling. The only scaling I see going
from 1 cpu to 2 is about 300 extra dollars for
the dual-core cpu.

Besides, HTT will slow everything else on the
system down, so its not practical to turn it on.
For every benchmark that shows a tiny bit of
improvement there are 5 that show degradation.
