I would say running _one_ query at a time depends on the power of _one_
cpu. PPCs aren't that fast, I'd say they are slower than Xeons. Moreover
I'm sure that AMD Opterons are faster than Xeons. I'd say you should go
and test an opteron-based configuration. You'll get much more power for
the same (much likely for less) money.
