Actually, as was mentioned in one of the analyses of the Mindcraft
benchmark, if your workstations are NT's, your best choice is a Samba
server, since it is also optimised for performance against NT Workstations
where NT server suffers.
This was probably the reason for using Win9* clients in the test, NT
Server performs better against them.

I'd like somebody to sacrifice their first-borne son, and write in blood

keep the thing that looks strange but has a real explanation for it.
