Looks like we're running a load of about 6. The machines have two physical cores hyperthreaded to 32 cores.
Interesting - the data is stored on nfs on a netapp. We don't seem to have a ton of nfs traffic.
Also we've got shared memory set to 48 gigs which is comfortably less than the 146 gigs in the machine.

Could you post the actual plans? On both versions? That would help a lot.
