Probably not. There is probably some redundant staffing that's built up over the last little while after they merged with andover, and have stopped working on various projects.
Thats what 2200 hits/sec gets you. You'll be doing 190 million hits/day. Pretty damn impressive. I'd like to work for you, considering the monster bw you'll have.
I'd basically ignore any current benchmarks because they're based of versions of linux that have known issues.
You're also comparing a multi-process server, which works faster at lower loads, to a multi-threaded server, which scales better, although might not/does not return documents back faster.
I'd like to see the avg connection times on these things.
It is basically a faster voodoo banshee with an extra texture unit.
ID doesn't support glide. They only use OpenGL, which has a library link to the glide library, which handles the hardware side of things.
If you want to bitch about support, do it to Daryll Strauss, or to 3dfx(they have to approve the drivers both legally and for compatibility).
If you read the documentation, all you need is libGL.so, which can be provided with your X server(accelX, metroX, etc), or use the libMesaGlide.so lib, which is and OpenGL implementation in glide.
FreeBSD != REAL Unix. Its not based off of the AT&T source, FreeBSD inc. does not own the UNIX trademark. FreeBSD is a unix clone, the only difference was that they started it 15 years ago instead of 9.
That does not make it better. If you just add the x86 bits to the BSD-lite 4.4 source tree, you're going to be in for a nasty surprise.
For those who know me, I'm not the one that posted that rant about roxen =)
I'd just like to notice that Roxen would work exceptionally well for this task. One of the issues though is that Malda is a perl nut, not a pike nut. =)
The threading alone doesn't make roxen faster(in fact, it isn't faster, just more scalable, which is what is needed here..), its its use of select() or poll() along with a server-side implmented caching system, so you don't end up reprocessing crap that you don't need to keep doing. The only benefit of threading of course is that all the threads share the same memory.
Something someone noted a while back is that roxen actually responds faster to the slashdot effect.. =) Probably due to the fact that it stores more stuff in ram because of the higher load. Doesn't make the OS freak out with 1000 connections.
Atic is another one of these companies I wouldn't trust with anything. They're being sued by at least 5 that I KNOW of, and the police about selling stolen parts, plus they do the "grey market" thing, importing hardware from the states, which invalidates your warranty, and insurance, since the hardware hasn't been approved by the various canadian safety agencies.

boa is a web server, not an application server.
its used by PPP for packet compression, as well as initial kernel decompression with the zImage target.

Woah nelly.
It is NOT an overclocked RUSH.

If it was based off of the source from AT&T, it wouldn't be freely redistributable.
Its just a re-implmentation of unix.
This is because its actually faster. Being able to support 4GB of ram is nice, but not when it cuts down the execute time of syscalls dramatically.
If you need that much ram, stop using PCs all together. They don't have enough memory bandwidth to serve that much very fast anyways.

Uhm.. :P

Speaking from actually seeing one of these files myself.. About that big for a 2 hour movie.
Thanks to the world of cablemodems, it only takes a few hours to download =)
Wait until we all have enough bw to stream these from sites
