Hmm. I may have to recant. I just removed our fusionIO driver from the 
loop and suddenly everything is honey and roses. It would appear that 
some recent 3.2 kernel patch borks the driver in some horrible way. 
Wihtout it, I see 50-ish percent CPU, 70k tps even with 800 clients... 
Just like 3.4.

So I jumped the gun a bit. Stupid drivers.

I'm still curious why only recent 3.2's cause it, but 3.4 don't. That's 
mighty odd.
