only if your building a mailserver that's going to do more than 1000 simultaneous sends - and do you really think that such people are going to pay any attention to what SysAdmin magazine thinks? It's pretty easy to get benchmarks to prove anything espically when you pick ones that are meaningless to 99% of your readers.
