Actually, 32 made a significant difference as I recall ... do you still have
the figures for that, Jignesh?

The test case is a workload called "iGen" which is a "fixed" TPCC-like
workload.  I've been trying to talk Sun into open-sourcing it, but no dice so
far.  It is heavy on writes, and (like TPCC) consists mostly of one-line
transactions.
