Hello, 

Here are my results from runnning ubench on one of our machines: 

CPU: 2x Intel Xeon 2.2ghz 512kb cache (/proc/cpuinfo) 
RAM: 2048mb Micron PC2100 Registered ECC DDR (512mb x4) 
Linux Kernel: 2.4.18-27.7.xsmp (updated from updates.redhat.com) 
Distro: Redhat 7.3 
GCC: 2.96 (RedHat version) 
Custom-built. 

All tests were run in single user mode.  Installed ubench with 
configure, make, make install.  Nothing custom.  Three tests were run in 
quick succession with a tight loop. 

Hyperthreading enabled in bios:

Some very interesting results.  Hyperthreading-off seems to be more 
consistent, while hyperthreading-on had a signifigantly higher score on 
the first test.  Odd.
