===============================================================================

	SPEC has determined that this result was not in compliance with the
	SPECweb99_SSL run and reporting rules. Specifically, the original tester
	has discovered that performance of the SUT shipped to customers did not 
	achieve same results (within 5%) thus failing to meet the 3-month 
	availability requirement.

SUT Notes
    APAR IY31315 was applied to AIX5L V5.1
    bindintcpu [interrupt level] [cpu] (Interrupt affinity - bind 4 Ethernet interrupts to 4 CPU's(1 interrupt to 1 cpu))
    bindprocessor [process] [cpu] (Process affinity - bind 4 Zeus child processes to 4 CPU's(1 process to 1 CPU))
    maxpgahead=64(the maximum number of pages to be read ahead,default=8)
    minperm=5%(the point below which the page-stealer will steal file of computational pages,default=20%)
    maxperm=95%(the point above which the page stealing algorithm steals only file page,default=80%)
    4 different logs for 4 zeus instances (1 log per zeus instance) for dynamic requests
    Disk layout: 1 disk for OS, 1 disk for webserver, 10 disks striped for file_set,1 disk for weblog
    Set Gigabit Ethernet driver attribute copy_bytes=256 (copy packet into contiguous buffer on transmit if this many or less bytes, defult=2048)
    Set Gigabit Ethernet driver attribute large_send=yes (turn on large_send capability of TCPIP, default=no)
    no(network option) tuning:
    no -o tcp_sendspace=131072(default socket send buffer size, default=16384)

HTTP API Notes
    Zeus PEPP-06 SPECweb99 toolkit used for dynamic content
    post.log in /weblog directory instead of doc_root
