I think Win32 performs the "worst" simply because AOLserver code doesn't exploit the more advanced Win32 features available. Comparing Solaris on SPARC to either Win32 or Linux on x86 isn't really a fair comparison since the architectures are quite different -- a low-end Linux box may well outperform a low-end SPARC box (think: Celeron vs. Ultra2, etc.) but the clock speeds of the CPUs are way different: a 900 MHz Celeron can be had for pennies while a 450 MHz CPU for an Ultra2 is considered fast. A cheap Ultra1 will likely have a 170 MHz CPU, but still probably perform as well as that 900 MHz Celeron x86. Or, maybe not -- I haven't actually done or seen actual benchmarks. Good question ... and I'd love to see some objective measuremens to try and answer them. -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
