I just ran bonnie on a Dual-Core 3.4ghz machine w 2GB RAM and 2x120GB 
Seagate SATA HDD on 3Ware 8006 set as RAID 1 mirror.  Ext3 FS.
Second Machine is Intel 2.6ghz HT w/2GB RAM and 2X120GB Seagate SATA HDD 
- no 3Ware, no RAID.  EXT 3.

neither machine has any notable load 0.00 to 0.01 as they are both idle 
at the moment.

This doesn't seem stellar by what I'm seeing on the 9550 thread, but 
overall, without any tweaking, does this look reasonable?
