until nov 2008 i ran a piii/600 fileserver with 18g scsi
disks.  performance was good, but was limited by
some poor choices when setting up the filesstems,
a poor nic, a small memory cache and by the extra
scsi-to-ide copy from the worm to the cache.

still, a kernel compile was ~15-20s.

have not tried testing the fileserver on xen or any
other virtualizer.  i used a soekris box for testing
last time.
