Well said. Amplifying ... ALL benchmarks are at best hints of reality, since they're ALL over-simplifications. It takes an actual workload simulation to properly "benchmark" a balanced system design (like IBM Power "Series P") in comparison to "systems" where each subsystem was tuned to a simplistic benchmark. -- Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
