Remember the big attraction of open-source: you dont need to buy any licences to try it out. So, if you have a LAN of 100 MS-Windows users, all you need is 100 floppy boot disks and you have a complete LTSP test system without changing rebuilding a single PC (ok, so you have to build a server somewhere, but that's only one box :-) It's not quite what you're looking for, but I ran an on-line questionnaire two years ago asking for details of LTSP installations. The results are on http://ltsp.homelinux.org. Maybe I should run it again if anyone on the list is interested? 'Performance' also tends to be subjective. I don't know any open-source equivalent of the Mercury tool set for doing quantitative performance testing.
