Wrong chart, sorry:

Kernel                NM  I/Os per second
--------------------  --  ---------------
2.6.25 (not patched)               472.39
2.6.25 + nomerges      0           472.54
2.6.25 + nomerges      1           472.58

(Don't think a little 2-way box w/ 4 SATA drives can really approach
500K I/Os per second...)
