Disk I/O is a huge low-down to avoid on any price (like databases do
with their indexing). Today me tested building LINUX kernel 3.8.0 on
8*SMT=16 CPU system (Corei7 2G) + 32G DDR3 + 175(wr)/350(rd)MB/s
RAID1. And this monster outperformed another cheap E8400 + 4G machine
by only 2 times and most probably because the cheap machine was
non-RAIDed.  And because Core i* arch can't have proper DMA.
