I got these results with a customized 2.6.20-rc5.

I'd guess the kernel won't make much of a difference as the time is
mostly determined by RAM and disk speeds.
There is some deviation in the results between these 2 kernels. Is
this acceptable?

Well, what do you want to find out? Anyways, I am in no way expert in the
field of benchmarking.
I would be trying to benchmark the results on my machines in this
fashion (overclocking experiment):-
Disk Types Machine
RAM
SATA 1.5 GBPS - 160 GB P4-HT-3.0 GHz
2x1GB Corsair
SATA 3.0 GBPS - 320 GB P4-HT-3.0 GHz
2x1GB Corsair
SATA 1.5 GBPS - 160 GB P4-HT-3.0 GHz
2x1GB OCZ
SATA 3.0 GBPS - 320 GB P4-HT-3.0 GHz
2x1GB OCZ
SATA 1.5 GBPS - 160 GB P4-HT-3.0 GHz
2x1GB Supertalent
SATA 3.0 GBPS - 320 GB P4-HT-3.0 GHz
2x1GB Supertalent
SATA 1.5 GBPS - 160 GB P4-HT-3.0 GHz
2x1GB Hynix
SATA 3.0 GBPS - 320 GB P4-HT-3.0 GHz
2x1GB Hynix
Boards here would be used are Intel based 915, 965, and 975.
Would be happy to know more test cases - for RAM/Disk/Processor Frequency
And, I don't work for any magazine, writing a review ;-)
