[Benchmarking] Test System Specs

[Paul Ramsey]

We appear to be stuck on systems.

Mike, I think your offer is generous, but realistically systems that
outside people can't get their hands on aren't going to work, it puts
too much of a bottleneck in the process having only one pair of hands
capable of altering the configuration and re-running the tests.

Jeff suggested just renting a couple co-lo's. Absent someone coming up
with a a pair of machines, that sounds like the best/only idea on the
table. How long shall we wait until we pull the trigger on this? Shall
we try harder to find a host?
