I seem to be getting around 2200k/s (2MB/s) on reads, but only 315k/s on writes! Now, that's a BIG difference. I've been going over the docs, and have tried all the suggestions in there for increasing performance. Does anyone out there have any more suggestions on how I can get the write performance to more closely resemble the read performance? I have the sources, and have enabled MMAP use, among other things. So, if any suggestions involve hacking the server, don't hesitate mentioning them! My server: (yeah, I know, I should use a better machine! It's pretty fast, though) AMD K6 233 64 MB RAM Buslogic PCI Fast/Wide SCSI card Seagate Barracuda ST12550N Fast/Narrow 2GB drive 3com 905B PCI 100 base T ethernet FreeBSD 2.2.7 My Client: PII 300 320 MB RAM Adaptec 2940UW SCSI Seagate Barracuda ST32171W Ultra Wide 2GB drive 3 com 905B PCI 100 base T ethernet Win98 They are directly connected with a cross-over 100 baseT cable, so they're running full-duplex.
