Re: Linux -v- NT for 8.0.5 + OAS 4.0.7 + Apache/IIS ??

and WHY WOULD YOU CARE ABOUT THIS for THIS APPLICATION TYPE?

imagine how much network bandwidth you would need to get near this linux stack "bottleneck".
the bottleneck is your network interface; your CPU will wait and wait and wait for work to do.
even if you web pages were tiny, without any images, you would still never have a problem.

it's almost moot anyhow cause the stack issue, which could cause a bottleneck in other types of aplications, is being fixed.
