In-Reply-To: <199810210630.XAA02591@implode.root.com> References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Actually I did reboot today and it did not help. There is one strange thing though, I put the same 5MB file I FTPed from another machine on my server and had someone on the same hub download the file via HTTP and it goes in about 9 seconds! Why would the FTP protocol be so slow, but the HTTP (Apache-1.2.6) is up there where it should be? I have also noticed considerable slow down with other services like my SSHD (character echoes take forever) but I can surf my web pages with no problems. The machine should not be overloaded. Here is a netstat -m: 75 mbufs in use: 15 mbufs allocated to data 45 mbufs allocated to packet headers 11 mbufs allocated to protocol control blocks 4 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses 14/144 mbuf clusters in use 297 Kbytes allocated to network (12% in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines However, this machines purpose in life is to be a web server, so I start the daemon with this script: #!/bin/sh ulimit -u unlimited ulimit -m unlimited ulimit -n unlimited ulimit -s unlimited /usr/site/bin/httpd -f /usr/site/conf/httpd.conf But I do need to FTP and SSHD to the server and I don't see why protocols other than HTTP would be so slow.
