Excellent article/job on performance profiling - thanks! Back in March, Anandtech also did a Niagara article profiling web + database performance: http://www.anandtech.com/IT/showdoc.aspx?i=2727&p=7 and the results for the T2000/Niagara were also lesser to the multi-core Opteron. Now maybe this article will help Sun to improve the processor's performance. - Luke
