I'm sure I don't have it any more, unfortunately.  It was six years old, 
and I just moved into a smaller house and threw out a half dozen old 
computers as well as my ancient backup tapes.

That would probably help a lot.  Each webserver or webclient is tied to 
one network interface, and I get the best performance when there is one 
CPU core per interface.  I'm not using CPU affinity yet, but I'll 
probably put that in before long.
