Anybody here running clients on Xeons here? I'm getting very poor
performance out of Xeons (400MHz) -- 420K-keys/sec when system is idle,
which is less than half of what Xeon/PII/PIII/Celeron of that speed should
get (~1.1M-keys/sec) and probably equivalent to PPro running less than
150MHz. Even the PPro 200 is out-performing the Xeons here. That's sad.

I tried increasing nice level and unlimited CPU time but they don't have
any effect whatsoever. I'm running dnetc client with nohup. Here's the
snipped output of dmesg:

/kernel: FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE #3: Wed May 23 13:49:34 CDT 2001

dnetc client is v2.8010-463-CTR00071200.
