That's a bit of a stretch. Last I heard they were running BlueDragon.NET, which is CFML on top of the .NET platform, not ASP.NET.
I think the CF metrics were compiled against CF 6, not CF 8, which is significantly faster than prior versions, so those stats are essentially useless for today's purposes. The other question I have about the metrics, such as they are, is what else changed after the switch and before the new metrics were compiled. MySpace was built without any overall architecture in mind, and one of the reasons they switched was that they had built out a giant spaghetti code mess and it was running itself into the ground. I understand why they made the switch, but I might have hired a decent architecture team to fix the application first.
