It's in the context of the discussion Johnny.

FreeBSD is being used in this case with what is pretty much the fastest
networking hardware available today in a server. 

I merely extended that observation to ask how VMS would perform in
those circumstances.

I suspect that you are probably the only one around here who doesn't
understand that (or doesn't _want_ to understand that for whatever
reason). Wrong side of the bed or crappy weather in Zurich ? :-)
