Linux scalability?

Hi!

I am just writing an essay, an have mentioned TUX as a performance and
scalability linearity recort holder with TUX, referencing the specweb99
website summary page:

http://www.spec.org/osg/web99/results/web99.html

However, taking a closer look, it turns out, that the above statement
holds true only for 1 and 2 processor machines. Scalability already
suffers at 4 processors, and at 8 processors, TUX 2.0 (7500) gets beaten
by IIS 5.0 (8001), and these were measured on the same kind of box!

How come, TUX is soooo good at the lowend (1 and 2 CPUs), and scales this
bad?
