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. -Dan
