This is a nice number playing game. It is still strange to see such
different results. But without a detailed configuration report, this could
be everything.
"...over the Linuxes. Once the load moves to 12 clients, all the Linux

Hmm, why does he compare 'double' (2) with '250'? Psychological effect?
This article is a nice piece of ZD marketing. IMHO they are slightly
