Well, if you look closely, the Tux 2 system had an extra GigE card and 5 9GB 10KRPM drives instead of 1 9GB 10KRPM drive plus 8 16GB 15KRPM drives under IIS, so the hardware wasn't exactly the same for both.
Perhaps more telling is that in both cases the "Conforming Simultaneous Connections" was the same as the "Requested Connections" -- suggesting that neither TUX 2.0 nor IIS were pushed to the breaking point in the tests.
Before gloating about holding the highest performance, compare with Zeus running on a (much beefier) IBM eServer: http://www.spec.org/osg/web99/results/res2001q1/web99-20001225-00092.html
(And of course the normal disclaimers apply about how little benchmark results reflect what "average" commercial deployments see.)
