Be VERY wary of what Tolly and other "testing organizations" (Meir Communications,
etc, etc) write. They generally either test in the configuration specified by
the vendor, or they allow a LOT of vendor input into the "test" setup.
In other words, the vendor rigs the test, the tester runs the rigged test,
and writes a nice paper that the vendor can distribute.
