A fellow who used to hang out on Alex's IRC server did a benchmark
between 2900s and ProCurve 4000s (roughly the same age hardware).  The
4000 kicked the 2900's tail.  It would not be unreasonable to expect
that newer HP gear is at least as decent.

Then again, their printers have gone to crap.... :(
