Good point - SPECweb includes a fairly large proportion of dynamic
content, to make it a bit more realistic. Tests these days are being done
on machines with 32Gb of RAM and 8 Gigabit Ethernet cards serving about
66% static content from big RAID arrays, which IMHO is getting a bit
silly: are there *ANY* sites serving 8 Gbit/sec of content from a single
server?!?
