The formula is the same for all platforms. Use a load test tool to run stress tests against your server, set the simultaneous request setting to a different value, and repeat. The methodology behind this formula allows you to tune any server performance setting you like, and it's even application server independent - you could use the same testing methodology to tune an ASP server, or whatever. By the way, I didn't know Damon Cooper was on the list - it's my understanding that he's the one largely responsible for putting together the testing methodology used by MM, and the course that covered the methodology. In my opinion, that was one of the best courses MM created; it's a shame that no one took it!
