What does iostat output look like? vmstat? How much time is your system spending in I/O wait? Have you looked at Netscape's performance tuning documents? Anything anomalous in netstat -s? In any case, this is a question for a list like sun-managers@ra.mcs.anl.gov, not Free-BSD Questions. We have several Ultra 2s in different configurations running Netscape Enterprise 2.0.1, and see better performance (by either one or two orders of magnitude, depending on what you're calling a "request"). >My employer insists that this is wrong. I used Web Bench 1.1 from ZDNet. People paying for expensive hardware usually don't like to see results like that, no. I can certainly believe those results, though, for a misconfigured box. -j To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
