I am recording here the results from a test VME system using two VF48 waveform digitizers and a 64-bit 
dual-core VME processor (V7865). VF48 data suppression is off, VF48 modules set to read 48 channels, 
1000 ADC samples each. mlogger data compression is enabled (gzip -1).

Event rate is about 200/sec
VME Data rate is about 40 Mbytes/sec
System is 100% busy (estimate)

System utilization of host computer (dual-core 2.2GHz, dual-channel DDR333 RAM):

(note high CPU use by mlogger for gzip compression of midas files)

Attached are the CPU and network ganglia plots from lxdaq09 (VME) and ladd02 (host).

The regular bursts of "network out" on ladd02 is lazylogger writing mid.gz files to HADOOP HDFS.
