I think he said in the mail that they are setting a record for SPEC Web benchmarking numbers. I think it is a very visible and referred to benchmark as far as web servers go, and it would be (800/600) as compared to the best linux webserver. I think it is proof enough. Would be fun to have the best SPEC number from FreeBSD and a university and not Linux and some industrial giant :) Thanks Aniruddha
