1CPU Host

2CPU Host

CPU: 850MHz Pentium III w/ 256k L2 cache x2 (Coppermine)
RAID Controller: AMI MegaRAID
SCSI Disks: 10 x 18GB

There is not much common: the 2-ways use SCSI MegaRAID/RAID0/5disks(on the
relevant volume. But going through again, while there is variation, it is
not to the same degree on the 2CPU hosts(only about 25%): the worst
offenders are the 1CPU Hosts.

I forgot to mention the kernel for this test is linux-2.4.25-pre6, But on
linux 2.6.1, I see similar problem on the Sequential Block Read:
