Mysteriously Slow Performance - running CentOS 6.2

[zebrastripe]

Thanks for the release notes link. I went through them but couldn't find a section that describes what configuration and packages goes into the different install types. Although there was a lot of good info there.

Have been continuing to delve into this issue. Wanted to add one more interesting tidbit. I attached an strace to one of the benchmarks, and it appears that something called futex is taking up 99.06% of the time, and the average time per call is over 10 times slower(891 microseconds vs 74 microseconds) on the minimal install compared to the full install.

Not sure if this is relevant, but figured it was worth a shot.
