Added the link to all Geek Patrol results, not just Mac Pro but all Mac and PC to compare.

My totally non-scientific benchmark of value: jboss 4.0.03SP1 (default config) starts in 8s on the Mac Pro 2.66 GHz, and a whopping 20s on the iMac 1.83 GHz.

Added comparaison for different disk and memory configurations. You should go for 4 channels of memory if you are looking for speed in your Mac Pro (one pair of FB-DIMMs in each memory riser card)!
