First, IIS is an easy target. It's got crummy performance no matter how many processes you throw at it. Netscape Fast Track is within just a few clicks of Zeus on comparable hardware, so I'd suspect that the Novonyx stuff is pretty good at cooking. However, I think we're within the rules to use a flash disk (for sure) or battery DRAM disk (maybe), so that should make up the difference in webserver performance. Remember that this number won't stand for long, no matter what we do. It's just a statement that we're in the game and freeware guys can perform in the same league as the dinoaurs.
