Thanks for everyone's help. This has actually increased the boot up =
speed of all of our Opteron based boxes through VMware ESX. I'll report =
the problem to VMware, but I'm betting this is a side effect of the =
CLFLUSH problems in virtualized Opteron machines that they worked around =
with a much slower function.
