Imho, the fact that this is an impressive achievement speaks to how much overhead the web costs. "400m operations per second? Wow, that's almost 5% of the number of operations per second a typical consumer processor can do!" I realize this is an apples to Buicks comparison, I just get bothered by how millions of anything might be impressive when we have PCs that are designed with billions of everything.
