khmmmmmmmm; two points:
* I do some tests from time to time; one of my jobs is to select hardware/ software for our university labs; I remember my disappointment when I realized linux kernels 1.2.* are slower than 1.0.* (in some tasks); this was due to some bugfixing ;-)
* did I missed the software configuration description of the tests? after the Mindcraft tests I did some tests for myself (we do have Dell with 4xXeon400 and 2GB of RAM running Linux); I optimized Apache for large load (1000 of subservers running paralelly, large file limit, etc.); this seemed to work fine even when the number of simultanously running sessions exceeded 2000; I can be wrong, I had no time to make those tests properly and documented; but I would like to see their setups...
best,
robert
