Yes, and Apache 2.0 will no doubt be more optimized for this kind of benchmark. On the other hand, these benchmarks aren't meaningless. Each bottleneck they run into might be a real-world bottleneck for some application. In fact, all of the improvements I list in http://www.kegel.com/mindcraft_redux.html appear to have been made in the course of normal Linux development.
Improving Apache+Linux's performance on these silly benchmarks has thus been a side effect of useful stuff. - Dan
