Yup. Comparison page:
http://www.opus1.com/ron/asipstats.html
The fastest one on there could move 532MB per minute, through a single
NIC. (It's a single NIC test). With 2 or 3 NICs, you could easily
hit that.... as always, feel free to send in your own stats, as the more
complete you can make this chart, the better we can see what real
world conditions are like.

ApppleshareIP servers are tuned for one thing, and one thing only...
Where most linux servers have lots of open ports, cheap NIC's, slow
drives, etc.etc. It's an issue of how a server is built, hardware
wise and software wise, and how it's tuned.
