   It is ZEOS policy that we do not quote benchmarks on our systems.
We leave benchmarking to third parties (such as magazine reviews).  I
can say that the more CPU intensive your application, the more benifit
you will get from installing a cache.  If you are using disk intensive
applications, a CPU cache will not increase your performance as much.
