Well, funny you should bring this up. I just did a benchmark on my two systems this very morning to get some idea what's actually going on with my setup. I specifically chose some benchmarks from RB's semi-recent run with an i7 to compare against, to have a good baseline to look at.
Here're the results of that, in case it'll help you figure out where you're standing:
