Good. Can we get a more complete list of the microbenchmarks
used, and perhaps get some consideration for some of the benchmarks
I've mentioned?

This indicates to me that LMbench might be a good choice for
internal O/S & networking things, and that perhaps one of IOStone,
IOBench, or IOZone might be good choices for exercising the disk
subsystem.

Large-scale, as in?

I hope to be able to help in a more material fashion by being
able to run some comparison benchmarks on my test system here, but I
fear that I would not be able to help fix any problems that might be
identified.
