Your concurrency level is unrealistic. If you expect 1000-1200
visitors a day, making 100 requestes at the same time is probably at
least 20-25 times more than you would get at your busiest time.

I am quite sure that what happens is because the concurrency is so
high Apache quickly gobbles up 1GB of RAM you have and then swapping
kicks in. TYPO3 does need more memory than Mambo (and by more, I mean
like several times more), that's why your benchmarks are so different.

Three points:

1. get more RAM (I see you already considering this).
2. test with the load patterns that will be closer to your real loads.
It IS stress testing, but there are limits, aftear all.
3. Mambo IS faster than TYPO3 to begin with. Static HTML files will be
even faster ;)
