None. I just wanted to point out, that results of performance tests heavily depend on your location and client computer. Without any special settings I could easily top w3elfs results.

When doing performance tests, always check:
- is the client-power sufficient? (packet rate, tcp settings etc.)
- can your connection handle the intended traffic? (not only capacity, but in terms of latency and packet rate -> problems with link saturation etc.)
- which route to the server is used?
- are the results different, when using another client/location?

Always check these double, if you are not testing with direct connection.
