Hi Andy,

 

 

The 8800 is about four times faster than the 6400 for CPU-bound operations; it has 4 2.6GHz CPUs, and TMM can use 90% of each. For comparison, TMM on a 6400 has access to 100% of one 2.0 GHz CPU.

 

 

The F5 Performance Report (http://www.f5.com/reports/f5-performance-report.pdf) may be a good reference for you. It covers many of the typical metrics regarding the 8800’s performance.
