runs okay on my 6x86mmx-233 usually 0.00 unless i have top running or doing 
something on the machine, even while serving mp3's to my main machine. Even 
running a lot of NFS off a XFS produces at max 15% load not bad considering 
it serving too both a 100mbit link and a 10meg link at the same time 2-3 
clients requesting data....
