I just tried it. Sysbench did a nice job of killing my system when it
finaly got to simultaneous I/O, so you won't be getting my bechmarks.

It seems my ThinkPad is slowly dying. Now, the lan0 interface (H&A
ethernet) is set in software to its down state whenever if feels like it.
I have to run "ifconfig lan0 up" with the card removed to make it work
again. The system normally boots with the interface down now. I don't know
why it started this -- I didn't change the system configuration. I'm glad
my desktop runs reliably.
