Excellent article/job on performance profiling - thanks!

Back in March, Anandtech also did a Niagara article profiling web + database
performance:
  http://www.anandtech.com/IT/showdoc.aspx?i=2727&p=7

and the results for the T2000/Niagara were also lesser to the multi-core
Opteron.  Now maybe this article will help Sun to improve the processor's
performance.
