As a periodic reminder of what FreeBSD is doing on ftp.cdrom.com, I
thought I'd paste in the first page of the `top' listing I just ran
now..

load averages: 21.41, 20.54, 18.44                                     11:44:00
499 processes: 20 running, 472 sleeping, 7 zombie
Cpu states:     % user,     % nice,     % system,     % interrupt,     % idle
Memory: 71M Active, 25M Inact, 16M Wired, 2476K Cache, 180K Free
Swap:   819M Total, 670M Free, 18% Inuse

Whoa, momma!  Check out the size of that PERL mirror job! :-)

I realize that this is highly subjective data given that no two ftp
servers are alike, but it's an interesting datapoint nonetheless and I
thought that it might be of interest to those of you out there who are
looking for comparison data.

The machine remains more than reasonably interactive and I wouldn't be
at all adverse to using it as a general user if I didn't have a
perfectly good FreeBSD machine sitting next to my own desk.  With 350
ftp users logged in along with 7 interactive users (one of whom
appears to be running emacs :-), 31 active HTTP sessions and some
700K/sec streaming constantly out of its one ethernet interface (as
checked with netstat), well, all I can say is: "This is a PC??!" :-)

The irony is that if we could only fit more than 128MB of memory into
this beast we could do even more..  I wonder if anyone from Intel is
listening?  Guys!  We need a decent motherboard with room for more
memory, please! please! :-)
