Hello,

I'm looking for tips on how to increase the performance on a FreeBSD 
host dedicated entirely to providing NFS services.  More specifically, 
this box runs FreeBSD 2.2.6-Beta, has a Pentium II (233 Mhz) cpu, two 9 
Gb scsi drives, 128 Mb of RAM, and an Intel EtherExpress Pro/100+ PCI 
network card.

For the most part, the cpu is idle, and I want to configure it to make 
full use of all its unused resources.  I imagine this will entail making 
some changes to its cache size, the number of nfsd daemons, etc.  
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
TOm SKjei
