12,000 Requests per second with Nginx, PHP and Memcached

"Is 12,000 requests per second terrible/good/great performance?"

Re: this, I don't understand this type of benchmark. A 'request' is completely undefined. Serving 12k 5-byte static pages is quite different from serving 12k frontpages with 25 db queries behind them. Is there an industry-standard interpretation of 'request' that I'm not aware of?

if the guy re-formulates his question like

"is 12000 requests the norm for a popular web site"

would it be better

I realize now that my "No." was misplaced, my "No" was the answer to "is 12,000 req/sec normal for a popular website".
