Re: NT reported faster than Linux 2.2.2 SMP

Mindcraft also used the v0.92 MegaRAID driver. An SMP race condition was
fixed in v0.93 which was almost certainly available from the AMI web site
long before the Mar 10-13 test. So SMP NT "beat" a non-SMP Linux on a
quad-Xeon server. Big hairy deal.

After COMDEX I'm upgrading my dual-Pentium/233 system with a MegaRAID 428
using Linux 2.2.5-ac6 (or later) and the Apache Secure Server from RH5.2.
I won't have 144 client PCs to duplicate Mindcraft's test load, but I do
have a P-II/266 laptop and 100 Mbps connectivity to the big system. Can
anyone suggest a way to simulate high loads from one client?
