Hi mark, i just happened to lurk around and read the thread.
Did you try to run iozone on both systems?
Benchmarks like this are designed to test performance
of filesystems on a rather wide domain of all related values 
(block size, file size, etc...)
It also produces graphs so that someone can easily see some potential problems
