CIFS and HTTP performance

I have a couple of questions regarding CIFS and HTTP performance on NAC
filers. Appreciate any answers regarding these.

In reviewing the CIFs performance white paper on the NAC website
(http://www.netapp.com/technology/level3/3015.html), I'm unclear
on what type of NetBench test is being run. Specifically, I'm not sure
if the paper describes NetBench Disk Mix or Random Read/Write tests.
I'd thought that the graphs pertained to the Disk Mix test
but block size variation test (section 3.1 in above paper)
made me think that perhaps Random Read/Write test was being
described (Disk Mix does not allow the I/O block size to be varied?
If the Read/Write test is being used, I would be very interested
in knowing the file sizes that are being used in these tests.

Second, I'm wondering if there is any info or experiences regarding
how many http op/s can a Netapp Web filer support?

Thanks!
