[Benchmarking] Test System Specs

[Daniel Morissette]

FYI I've picked up tonight the server that I had mentioned in a previous 
email. Unless it really doesn't want to cooperate then we should have it 
online in the next few days. I'd suggest we try that avenue and if it 
doesn't work out then we can always look at renting.
