Re: "According to ZDNet's ServerBench tests on Compaq's new Profusion-based server, there was a 61% increase in peak performance with eight processors over four. That's pretty good scalability."

Was the 61% increase with a 512K L2? Apparently Win2000 shows a greater than 100% improvement, suggesting that the bus is not the real issue here. With the use of the 1 & 2 Meg L2 Xeons, the bus should not be a significant factor.

Peak performance? What is this? 8 wait loops
versus 4 wait loops or what?
