While we're on the subject of HP performance, I'd like to draw
attention to a little HTTP benchmark a couple of us have been
doing for the past few months. You can see the results at:
 
http://www.anime.net/httpd_benchmarks.html
 
Keep in mind this benchmark is not intended to show
"average usage", it is designed to benchmark the
_upper bound_ of the web server. Any flames regarding
the testing methodology will be cheerfully circular filed ;-)
 
A 1024 byte plain textfile was used for the hits/sec
benchmark, and a 1mb binary file was used for the
throughput benchmarks.
 
I invite people to submit their own benchmark results.
