Could this be the independant authority we're looking for to do some
benchmarks for Apache?

yes, I talked to someone there a few days ago. When we have a beta,
he'd be interested, but it looks like *we* have to supply the
facts and figures - so much for unbiased comparissons.

You could get a copy of SGI's WebSTONE benchmark and attempt to run
it. Or, send mail to et@engr.sgi.com (Gene Trent) and ask him about
it. He's run some comparisons using his WebSTONE benchmark that are
documented somewhere in SGI's WebForce pages.
