The problem is that the author asserted that the reason FreeBSD+Apache did
not get those gains is because of a cache problem with FreeBSD+Apache. In
order to back that statement up there needed to be another set of data
showing max ops/second vs. amount of RAM and then some text stating that
they talked to someone associated with FreeBSD who indeed verifyed that it
was a cache problem. I would have then just posted a message saying that
there is an interesting article in PC mag that is suprisingly positive about
FreeBSD. I wonder if M$ have been missing their monthly payments. :-)

It is completely consistent with the graph.  The graph is clients vs.
ops with _one_ amount of RAM.  They are saying that with an increasing
amount of RAM, NT gets more gains.
