The WEBstone webserver benchmark and the Byte suite are both included with the FreeBSD distribution.

Maybe we can get Nicholas Petreley to poke the InfoWorld Labs into doing a fair cross-platform test with a pair of different real-world webserver configurations, like, say 32MB on a P75 and 256MB on a P-][? Each OS-vendor gets to set up its software as best it can, given the config hardware and test website, then they run the test battery. It would be perhaps a bit more complex to test, but we could even allow CGI on one and Frontpage on the other, giving each team 2 weeks to code the website to a specification.
