I think that was my point about the TPC benchmark is that the benchmark
for -C is using the same application specification and in this case on the
same kit which to me rings a half decent comparison.
But I do agree that people MUST benchmark their own application then use TPC
which is, I agree, a simple marketing excercise, but it does show that
products don't fall apart at such transaction volumes.
