4-way IA64, better, but not good after 30 runs (in single user mode):

Part  RQ   MIN     AVG     MAX      Dev
----- --  ------  ------  ------  ------
 mkfs 0  18.893  19.429  20.129   0.351

 psys 1   8.47%  14.20%  16.33%   2.566

Better run time w/ rq=1 (only 0.25%) but at a huge cost in %sys. Will do some profiling to see what's up.
