Well, that depends on what you're measuring, really. But most of the
benchmarks mentioned only measure processor speed (mostly, as modified
by memory/cache speed) and if you want to know how something will
perform as web server, that's not very useful. You want a benchmark
that will take into account I/O bandwidth, or more specifically, disk
access.
