We repeated the earlier LUBM 8000 experiment on a newer machine, with 2 x Xeon 5520 and 72G 1333MHz memory, and once again with the 2 machines as a networked cluster. Otherwise the settings were the same.

The load rate is now 160,739 triples-per-second.

Again, if others talk about loading LUBM, so must we. Otherwise, this metric is rather uninteresting.
