See this?

An alternate test that looks at different configurations: Single and
Multi-processor, as well as single and multi- network adapters.

Seems like Linux beats NT for single network adapter, but has problems with
multiples, which I'm guessing supports the single-threaded IP stack problem in
the Linux Kernel??

All in all I think it's good; illustrates Linux's shortcomings, so developers
know which areas to work on for better performance.
