    it's better to have several tests that use different functions. for
    example, testing inserts, then joins and inserts or just joins, selects
    only, maybe some more complicated queries with math functions involved.
    perhaps we should come up with a test bed that will specifically test
    all of these areas on their own and then come up with some real world
    queries for an all-encompassing overview.

    and as far as Xeon/P4 goes... it's not very practical. AMDs are far and
    away the better performing processor right now and the Intel part will
    only introduce bottlenecks in the testing... don't even get me started
    on EM64T...
