I love this bit:

| Data from Veritest, an organization commissioned by Microsoft,
| suggests that static HTML running on Apache web server can serve over
| four times as many concurrent users as Dynamic pages running on
| Microsofts IIS. With a few tweaks of Apache they are seeing over 10
| times the serving ability. 

Of course, in any comparison between dynamic and static content, static 
content will win. But I like the phrasing - and this coming from 
Veritest...

Yeehaw!

cheers
