Theres a page on sun where some SAP servers ran some ungodly throughputs.

I bet if you contacted them they would give you something.  Or do a "loaner"
to do your own testing.  We've done it before to put HP's down ("corporate
standard").  Actually had a HP systems guy on-site and all he ended up doing
was hosing the system and left us with an non-bootable HP.........
