is that on the same hardware you used last time ? 
2 * Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz with 2GB RAM.

OK. First thing we can do is to find what they have in common and 
get that included. Then, after the first round, we might even find 
some more to reach the MULTI model :) 

That said, I'm perfectly fine with the FLAT model, because I think
it covers nearly all the real world scenarii i know about : system 
containers, application containers.
