The results of my comparison will be presented to the boss-types at my company, and I see the potential for an article, hence the advocacy issue. My comparison will include installation/configuration issues, but the most important aspect is performance. I would like to get concrete results on their performance as web/real audio servers. This leads to my question: what benchmark methods are considered to be at least somewhat useful/accurate? Any other suggestions/comments?
