Once the release comes out any day now I'll see if I can duplicate them 
on hardware I can talk about fully, and share the ZCAV graphs if it's 
still there.  The server I've been running all of the extended pgbench 
tests in this thread on is running Ubuntu simply as a temporary way to 
get 2.6.32 before Squeeze ships.  Last time I tried installing one of 
the Squeeze betas I didn't get anywhere; hoping the installer bug I ran 
into has been sorted when I try again.
