(We have a few poised to go into production where it would be relatively easy to do benchmarking without distorting factors right now.) After that we jump to 16 cores, unless I'm forgetting something. These are currently all in production, but some of them are redundant machines which could be pulled for a few hours here and there for benchmarks. If either of those seem worthwhile, please spec the useful tests so I can capture the right information. -Kevin
