What could I be missing? Date: Wed, 20 Nov 1996 13:49:10 -0600 X-Mailer: Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector Version 4.0.837.3 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello! I am setting this FreeBSD box (2.1.5) as a dedicated news server. I expect it to have some ~100 nnrpd sessions and to exchange feeds with 6 sites, most probably all of them streaming news via innfeed (ie, another 48 processes). I need sugestions to build the optimal kernel for this, as I seem to have some per- formance issues at this time. System is not heavely loaded at this time, iostat, netstat, etc do not report heavy use. Nevertheless, the system seems to be slow. This is a PPRO 200 with 256Megs of RAM, 2-9GIGF&W scsi drives for news spool 1 2Gig IDE drive for system files and the overview database. Thanks :-) ---------------------------------------------- Raul Zighelboim mailto:mango@communique.net Communique Inc. http://communique.net
