Re: Does this site ring a bell? LOL!!!! how carefully did you look at those benchmarks? An old 4-way Alpha server running 667mhz cpus supports 400 users while the latest and greatest Itanium with 16gig of Ram squeaks by it with 470. A big Sun sparc supports 7000 users (all from your link). The Itanic, when configured with a ton of memory and a lot of fast disk, will do OK on benchmarks that are dependent on a ton of memory and a lot of fast disk. It's also great for running Itanium binaries. I will grant you that Itanium II performance is not as embarrassingly horrible as was the performance of Itanium I - in fact, on the right benchmarks, it's made it up to mediocre. That should be all it takes to get the industry to dump decades of experience with other architectures and throw away millions of lines of code of custom business critical applications. Esperanto is a fine language, but it doesn't seem to have caught on, despite all of the benefits its supporters keep telling us about.
