I won't dispute that, I'll just say it is what people running RHEL5 will see out 
of the box.

I thought I had, albeit perhaps too tangentially.  Anyway, I'm running on a 
Debian 4.0 with a 2.6.21.1 kernel on it (from a kernel.org tar) now and will try 
a contemporary 1.2 on that.  It seems there is already some OFED stuff in the 
2.6.21.1 kernel, so if there are suggestions on how to remove that for a 
successful 1.2 install, or other suggestions on how to have a successful 1.2 
install on 2.6.21.1 I'm all ears.  When it comes to manipulating bits here I'm 
still on the very steep part of the learning curve.

happy benchmarking,
