We have customers running all three of these environments, and all perform
well. We have done some comparative performance testing and there are some
numbers in section 23.0 of the Radiator reference manual. There are also some
descriptions of a few customer installations at the following URL:
http://www.open.com.au/radiator/examples.html
On this same topic we are still looking to add more examples to this page so if
anyone else would like to contribute a description of their system, please send
it directly to me (with a note stating if you want it to be anonymous or not).
