> If you read the article and the report, you see all the benchmarks are based on exactly one thing: PEAK throughput.

I was listening to Andrew Tridgells talk from LCA 2003 recently and he mentions this. Samba tries to have a good throughput in all scenarios whereas Microsoft has a peak performance and an exponential falloff as load increases. Some may find it an interesting listen.
