You know, it is impossible to please everyone. When the machine was on the west coast, people on the east coast complained all the time that performance sucked. Then we move it to the east coast, and people on the west coast complain. You are right that the performance has sucked generally for awhile, however. Lightning has been bandwidth limiting us, resulting in lower performance than what people had gotten used to. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org President, TeraSolutions, Inc. - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
