I benchmarked a 486DX4/100 with 16MB running Apache 0.65 on
FreeBSD 2.0.5 (I think it was) in 1995 and it was able to sustain over
800,000 hits in a 24-hour period. This was with a large (50MB)
document mix, fetched from an SGI NFS server. Interactive performance
on the console was horrible, but response times to HTTP requests were
still quite good. A properly equipped P133 running recent software
should be able to service several million requests a day without
falling over.
