Oh, you're right. I ran bonnie++ against a USB hard drive and it shows
a whopping improvement!
I've edited my blog post and added the USB hard drive numbers:

Okay, so I should run 8 tests?
patch smp sd-card
patch smp usb-hd
patch nosmp sd-card
patch nosmp usb-hd
no-patch smp sd-card
no-patch smp usb-hd
no-patch nosmp sd-card
no-patch nosmp usb-hd
I already have a good idea what the results will look like for usb, so
just the other four with sd-card.
