Apparently this data comes from Jim Gray http://research.microsoft.com/~Gray/ who works for Microsoft Research. The information is current as of 99/00: http://research.microsoft.com/~gray/papers/MS_TR_99_100_Rules_of_Thumb_in_Data_Engineering.pdf I would love to see more recent data if anyone has it. -- Wesley W.
