comment Why are 2 Mac Pros on a separate subnet directly connected seeing very low transfer rates?
No, I had already attempted a straight through with the same results. Similarly 0 errors (send & receive) and link speed is 1 Gbit. You are right, Mac Pros do auto negotiate cross-overs, but i wanted to try it both ways to be certain there were no cable problems.

comment How to isolate the most disk-active process(es) in OS X?
Yes @TheTentacle, I've used iosnoop a lot, but generally found fs_usage to be faster. Will have to play with rwsnoop, thanks.

comment Can a reduced number of processes lead to improved performance with OS X 10.8?
Actually the number of processes can have serious performance ramifications if you're dealing with sysctl barriers revolving around setting kern.maxproc and kern.maxprocperuid. Apple has helped this situation in 10.8, however it's just important to note, I think, that if you run a very heavy configuration (where you saturated 12+GB of RAM with processes), you start to have out of testing bounds situations where Apple has not optimized system performance for such scenarios as well as they should. I've run into issues a lot over the past several years re: this condition.
