I will only remind people involved in these discussions that processor performance is RARELY the bottleneck in a system, I/O almost always is. If it isn't I/O, you're not measuring correctly, and if you are, then it's memory. THrowing processors at a disk/IO intensive application will not help one bit, so until you're sure what the problem is, measure it :-) Christopher Petrilli -- | Christopher Petrilli "That's right you're | petrilli@amber.org not from Texas."
