Dear Elmer: I see that the higher you load it, the slower it gets. It looks like if you load it with 200 clients, the P4 actually will be slower with HT than without it and of course it does not compare it against the competition or provide absolute numbers so that it could be verified. It just goes to show that P4 (and its descendents) is a terrible server CPU unlike Athlon that loses far less or gains somewhat when pushed with high loads. THis is why when the going gets tough and complicated, Athlons blast ahead of P4s in the comparisons. Probably showing the tendencies toward streaming apps rather than multiuser multitasking type apps. It shows up the small caches and low way sets of P4 vs Athlon designs. Pete
