You need to rescale for 2008; people often have 4GB or more RAM in their
machines ... hell, I have one machine here from 2002 with 14GB in it
(I don't power it up very often because it's too noisy). The test was
only writing 1GB of data, which would fit in the page cache of my laptop,
never mind the kind of machine that's likely to have an 8-way array
attached to it.
