How am I being impartial? > Just curious, what was the benchmark you ran? I can't remember it being referenced in the thread.. I'd like to run it on a few machines (ranging from DEC Unix, to Ultrix..) and see how my machines are performing. lmbench seems to be the implied benchmark, but I'd like to know for sure =) I'll give it a run on the 100MB/s net here, and the FDDI. Of course, the PC's won't have the bus bandwidth to sustain transfer across the ATM switch - but I'd like to make my own comparisons, whether the benchmark represents the _real world_ of not is of no concern to me really. I know how the machines perform during normal operation, I'm just curious about how the benchmark will vary form OS to OS and from hardware to hardware!
