It's pretty easy to find though. It's right where he states: Windows 2000 will solve the problem. "Just wait until Y2K, folks. Win2K will beat everything." Reminds me of their tactics when OS/2 Warp came out...:-/
This is a translation done by hand, which is still better than BabelFish so far:
Apache's simply better We're to blame if we don't bundle enough features with our servers to justify our price tag. Apache's simply better than us if it comes to hosting several sites off one server. Windows 2000 will solve this problem.
With precompiled packages you have no control over the way it's compiled. That's the case for both.tgz's and.rpm's. And if the only control you need is compile flags, you can use the.srpm's just as well, and AFAIK you can specify default optimization flags rpm uses. (Can't tell for sure -- still mostly build from tar-balls.) Gives you the optimization you need, and the ease of use of rpm --rebuild. And packages built this way are easily upgraded, deleted,...
Actually it's not so much the `crystal' (I don't think they are crystals; rather ring oscillators in PLLs I would think), but the clocking that draws a very substantial part of the power (50 %?).
Keep in mind the clocking circuit needs to drive a lot of transistors, and this takes quite a lot of current !
But decreasing voltage levels will have a bigger impact on power than frequency will.

*And* better cross-platform compatibility, let's not forget, shall we ? libc5 was much too linux-i386 specific to get ported to Alpha.
the day I bought my Alpha was the day I switched Slackware for RedHat.
