well I don't see much difference. interestingly dbench_load wouldnt give me a
number because dbench never quite started - a whole swag of processes visible
but not doing anything (must be related to that oops I sent out with respect
to dbench running on mm10). Previous runs of dbench_load may have been
working because 0.6x releases of contest use dbench 4*num_cpus instead of
16*num_cpus which I am using in the development version.

Might give the cfq scheduler a go
