NetBench is a portable benchmark program that measures how well a 
file server handles file I/O requests from 32-bit Windows clients, which pelt 
the server with requests for network file operations. NetBench reports 
throughput and client response time measurements. Version 7.0.2 of NetBench 
answers user requests for greater disk coverage and more disk-testing 
flexibility. To run NetBench, you need a file server, a PC running Windows NT or 
Windows 2000 (called the controller) to start and monitor the tests, and clients 
that are running either Windows 95/98 or Windows 
NT/2000.

Here with the first test dm_nb70 we see that with 
HyperThreading does not affect performance.

 I'm not really sure why the S2722 performs so 
much lower than The S2720. I reran the benchmark a few times and got the same 
result.
