I also made testing on clean WordPress, than I turned on MySQL and PHP caching and finally I install WP-Cache. My testing environment was dual core P4 2.6Ghz with 1Gb of memory. In the beginning WordPress was able to deliver 3.44 request per second and after turning on caches, I got 467 requests per second. Your score is really high.

Some people have suggested it'd because I utilize PLESK as my management console, I know it's not. I'm on a Celeron 2.0Ghz w/ 1G memory - plenty fast enough to handle 250-300 requests/sec. As proof, I ran 'ab' against apc.php (apc profiler) and it handled about 300 req/sec. Against my wordpress install, it stuck at around 12-14/sec AND.. it shows "HTML transfered: 1 Bytes" For some reason, ab isn't actually hitting the site. Weird, no? Any thoughts?
