The stated what daemons where running. inetd was, but neither smbd nor
httpd was.
If they where running samba and apache thru inetd (which is possible, but
insane) that more than justifies the lousy performance.
We don't know this, but it's possible.
And this whole thread is way off topic, so unless someone can give comments
on the SMP scaling, I think we should end it here.
