Well, I'm not really sure, since this is pretty far outside my area of 
expertise, but since he claims the Solaris numbers on the 10M row test 
were also horrid until turning off some FS cacheing, I wonder if tuning 
the VM system might help some.  I just sent the author a link to Arto 
Selonen's VM tuning page 
(http://www.selonen.org/arto/netbsd/vm_tune.html) in hopes that he might 
be able to squeeze some better numbers out of it...

Of course, someone who knows better than I should feel free to let me 
know if I'm full of it...
