Well I am decided if these numbers are accurate. But, is there an  
article discussing these? I have only seen articles discussing his  
MySQL results.

Now these numbers are for FreeBSD 8.0. I wonder how 7.0 will perform.

It would be great if he also documents how he compiles and builds his  
Java.

I wonder why this results haven't made headlines.
