It was just Linux, though, I've never had Win on that box... But I didn't sense performance degradation, not to the extent it was sensible under FreeBSD. Anyhow, now it is really fast. All of the ByteBench indices improved 10-20 times! Kernel compiles now in 20 minutes, as opposed to 4 hours before. ;^) > perhaps, they work much faster now ?! Well, I have no means of objectively testing the speed improvement under Linux, since as I said I removed it completely from that machine when I installed FreeBSD... > > >>> Arcady Genkin 7/3/99 12:16:36 AM >>> > > Thank you again to everyone who responded to my problem.
