I  have a hard time accepting benchmarks that were performed
on  a  /Windows/ machine. It could use an upgrade, too.  Not
many  Web  hosts  will employ such servers  (with  an  older
version  of  Apache, IIS, and PHP). This seems out of  date,
but  the  page is not timestamped in any way. Remember  that
any  experiment  and benchmark has an element of black  art.
Even if the methods and experiments are carefully described,
doubt  prevails. There are lies, damn lies, and  statistics.
And  the  author can always have bias, which depends on  the
funding  source or the hypothesis that will be the most mind
boggling.   And   thus,  being  controversial,   novel,   or
unexpected, it will be most publishable...

Best wishes,

Roy
