I am running FreeBSD 2.1.7.1-RELEASE. The computer is an 200mhz pro 256 mg. ram. Ethernet card fxp0. The machine is on a ds3. All it does is server HTML pages - no cgi. Here is the latest top screenshot load averages: 0.00, 0.01, 0.16 14:33:31 151 processes: 1 running, 150 sleeping Cpu states: 0.8% user, 0.0% nice, 2.7% system, 1.2% interrupt, 95.3% idle Mem: 27M Active, 2224K Inact, 22M Wired, 26M Cache, 6992K Buf, 176M Free Swap: 141M Total, 64K Used, 141M Free As you can see, there is plenty of mem, plenty of CPU. The problem is that when I telnet to this machine (from a machine on a T1 line), it is extremely SLOW. It will typically take 10 seconds for the login prompt and even longer to check the password. I have telneted to the machine, typed a command and have waited over a minute before even a character will be displayed. I have a dozen other machines that sometimes do the same thing. EVERYTHING looks perfect - yet the whole damn machine is extremely slow. I would greatly appreciate any help with this problem. -Garrett garrett@websidestory.com
