I wasn't working on the project myself, and possibly gave a slightly
mis-leading impression ;->

To the best of my knowledge there were 8-12 Dual P3 500, each loaded with
all the necessary EJBs, JSPs et al. and load-balanced using BIG IP from F5
Networks.  However, none of the boxes were even touched in terms of resource
consumption.

Apparently, and this is a definite (sic) Windows NT 4/2000 with a
dual-processor running Java out-performs a Linux box of the same spec
running Java.  Originally, the project was trialled to run on Linux, but it
was discovered that NT 4 was faster!!!  Has anyone else had any experience
of this?  I was told that it was due to better MP support in NT 4/2000???

Wow! That's pretty impressive results. What sort of hardware are you
running?

As my performance test showed, on a single PIII650 I was able to generate on
average about 4.5million page hits a day (on a simple login process
anyways).
