I never meant to say it's wrong! I _appreciated_ that!

Exactly. And that's what M$ is doing on that page!

Anyways, can anyone tell me how to do benchmarking?

I tried the Apache Benchmarker today on one Apache on Linux and one IIS on
NT on _exactly_ similar machines, and similar loads on them (I guess, the
Linux one was more loaded) and Apache definitely outperformed IIS.

But this was a definitely crude way to do. Can anyone give any pointers to
documents that give guidelines for benchmarking?
