CPU usage isnt all that counts... I can write an http server, that uses 0.1% CPU time and produces 800bit/sec traffic... :-)

Since these systems are nowadays so complex and difficult to compare, I would recommend benchmarks, that r tailored on and for the special box... Ideally one would use different boxes and test each with different OSes and different application-implementations, so that u can do an informed decision based on empirical data in the end (of course I know, that limited time and funding causes some pressure)... -Arne --- "Denny Crane, Denny, Denny, Denny ...
