Sure, I can mail you benchmark results privately if you agree not to repost them in a public forum. I don't want the results public because they use a pre-release version of my company's network device driver, and because I no longer have the hosts to duplicate those results. The results were taken on old Dual PIIIs, which I've just upgraded to 3.06Ghz P4s, and I haven't had time to re-run the numbers. But you can also just run /usr/ports/www/webstone yourself. You need to saturate the server, so make sure to use multiple 100Mb links or a Gig link if you have modern hardware. I used apache for a server because its seems to be the most common. Drew
