I left this comment on the blog as well:

Not to be negative, but I'm fairly sure that Harvard's research on this subject, described here - http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000070.html - showed that in fact the opposite is true - incentive-based salaries have an overall negative effect on productivity and effectiveness.
