My numbers (atleast) were a joke. The reality of it is (IMHO) that benchmarks are only useful to marketing departments because they are rarely done in an equitable manner. There are way too many differences to benchmark accross hardware platforms, and rarely does anyone tune OS parameters to make benchmarks meaningful on different OSs using the same hardware.
I use Win2K and Solaris and XP extensively. IMHO, each has an efficient kernel. All will run the following program very fast:
while(1) ;
It is the bloated upper layers that everyone has a problem with - the registry, basing everything on COM, legacy DOS file support....
The kernel was designed by the same guy that designed VAX VMS - arugably the best OS ever built. He just had no control over what got piled on top of it.

I would like to keep record of my server performances relative to each other too, it sounds like a cool idea

My testing confirms Alan's numbers, however he neglected to mention:
Solaris: 2.5 VMS on Alpha: 8.0 :)

Everybody argue about something and usually its so difficult to come to a conclusion. Microsoft says windows is good, linux people say linux is better, I say FreeBSD is best :)
NetBSD...
Microsoft always says the newer version of windows works faster and more efficiently etc. But yet they require faster cpu's and more memory in their system requirements :) When we leave the memory out, I wonder why a more efficient system require faster cpu :) there is a problem in this
equation :)
At work, we run CPU and memory intensive applications. On the same
hardward, the relative speed of our apps on the various OS's, relative
to NetBSD, are:
NetBSD: 1.0 Linux : 0.6 XP : 0.2 NT4 : >0.1
So I agree, XP is twice as good as NT4. :)
