Here's another comparison for you. I loaded exactly the same page to 2 of my dedicated boxes. Box One is 100% Cogent out of California. Box Two is 0% Cogent and 100% multihomed Verios, Sprint, ...out of Texas. The cogent box is a Pentium 1000, Multihomed box is a Pentium 4 2000. The cogent box has more traffic, so it is under more stress. You will see that there is minimal difference between the 2.
