Offer half as much performance? What?

Half again means one and a half times as much or 50% greater performance.

Sun claims that the new industry-standard servers consume about one-third the power, offer half again as much performance, and cost half as much as comparably configured servers from Dell.

Me...

What they're saying is 1.5 times performance. Sounds like SUN could be trying to make a very big statement.

Someone needs to tell the NYT editor to stop writing AMD and IBM as "A.M.D." and "I.B.M." It looks silly.
