Well, I'm now only working on some documentation, so I think I can run some tests if they are automated enough, on either i686 or x86-64 machine (both SMP). There's about 5 - 10 GB of free disk space on each (ext3, but I can create a reiserfs easily, if needed). If you want me to do this, please provide me with: a) patches to test, b) benchmark tools, c) instructions (what to turn on/off in the kernel config, how to run the benchmarks - I need to be able to use a text editor while they are running and occasionally run a web browser or acroread, but I don't care much if the system crashes on them).
