I have not checked if the benchmarks were on multi core machines. It should not matter much if there were more than one CPU, but of cause it helps a little. bonnie++ test reports cpu usage, and this is not insignificant, say in the 20 -60 % range for some tests, but nowhere near a bottleneck. There was one with a raid5 performance seq read of about 500 MB/s with 36 % cpu utilization, so it is definitely possible to come beyound 150 MB/s. The speed is largely dependent on number of disk drives you employ. > If available, can u pls point me to numbers with multi-core CPU? I dont have such benchmarks AFAIK. But new benchmarks are always welcome, so please feel free to submit your findings.
