Unfortunately the production machines I work with (8 FreeBSD boxes) thats not readily available :-/ (rack mount cases with noisy fans so you can't hear the hard drive and poor LED's) Right now, the config we run on our inbound MX's (which are the busiest) are possibly more CPU bound than disk bound (P5-166's with a s**tload of data to sift through for anti-relaying checks), so its really anyone's guess. I think some more figures from lrios would help though, like watching `systat -v 1' for a while to see if anything is obviously bottlenecking...
