you hit the nail on the head when you said that a general purpose OS would not be as effective in the performance arena. Exactly the reason why NetWare performs so well in these tests and is an ideal caching OS. It is a special purpose OS and is primarily design for raw speed. It always has been. So Caching the Internet comes naturally to NetWare. So thanks for providing the main reason as to why Novell's ICS (a BorderManager FastCache spinoff) is head and shoulders faster than its competitors while running on standard Intel based technology.

Obviously you don't know much about the proxy serving (web caching) marketplace. If you did you would know that CSCO's solution is based on a specialized OS. You would also know that NTAP's solution is based on a specialized OS. You are right that ICS is "faster than its competitors while running on standard Intel based technology." But its main competitors are not running on standard Intel based technology, Toy.
