It's certainly possible that this will turn out to be a real performance problem, like that Apache test a few years ago. In fact it's probably a known issue with 2.4, fixed in 2.5. What would be really amusing would be to treat this like a bug report, figure out where the bottleneck is, and fix it if possible. It's getting to the point where Red Hat (or someone else) could actually just as an enterprise customer for profiling output and figure out what the problem is without having a Linux-savvy user. Then they could thank Microsoft for funding a testing session which led to improving Linux...

For that, they'd have to provide a lot more actual data. As it is, this is the news equivalent of every ISP front-line-tech's favorite call: "The internet is broken!"
