Remarkable improvements in server performance!
Apache 1.3.19 running on a Red Hat Linux 7.1 system upgraded to the 2.4.5 kernel was able to process at peak throughput 4,602 Web requests per second.
There's a post on Slashdot today that talks about RedHat's Tux 2.0 server doing (IIRC) 12000+ requests per second.
