Yay, finally something that's measurable in this thread \o/

Gigabit Ethernet iperf on an Atom or so might be something that
shows similar effects yet is debuggable. Anyone feel like taking a shot?

That beast doing iperf probably ends up making it go quite close to it's
limits (IO, mem bw, cpu). IIRC the routing/bridging performance is
something like 40Mbps (depends a lot on the model, corresponds pretty
well with the Mhz of the beast).

Maybe not totally unlike what make -j16 does to a 1-4 core box?
