[mapserver-users] MapServer on Intel Atom?

[kreshna_iceheart at yahoo.com]

Update: I saw an Intel Atom benchmark here:
http://laptoping.com/intel-atom-benchmark.html

It has about similar performance with Pentium III Tualatin (1.13 GHz), so I think it's not really bad for MapServer (and postgreSQL), isn't it? I mean, most open source applications don't have resource-hogging overhead, so it's quite okay, isn't it?
