hehe...

i cant see it ending until someone gets bothered enough and goes and
runs the same several benchmarks on exactly same hardware, ofcourse
coz we probably would love to see it done in a statistically right
one should use _several_ equal sets of hardware, and swap combinations
between the tests...

i'm beginning to get bothered enough, but am good 5000 miles from home/work.
and when i'm back there i'm flooded with work and would not have time...

but anyway, until the above has been done probably using freebsd 2.2-current
and some 2.0 version of linux, on atleast p133/166 and ppro200 machines,
using rather scsi, there's not much point claiming that someone has a
hardware that runs something "faster" than someone elses another set
of hardware...

it only proves person claiming such things is not objective enough
to prove anything at all... except that person lacks the logical
thinking and is an ignorant fool what comes to statistically
relevant measures...
