Please shed some light on this for me. Yes, there is a big difference: 0.356 ms < 1.1 ms, so your FreeBSD host is faster when ping'ing localhost. Are you saying even though it's faster than Linux, it's still too slow? -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/
