It looks like the syncache is using most of the CPU time. However you are not hitting problems caused by lack of concurrency there. It does do a *lot* of work with the syncache mutex held (including generation of the cookie, which involves MD5) so it might be an issue in the future, but there are other bottlenecks in the way before that is your main issue. Things may be different with more CPUs. Did you compare to what happens to performance when the syncache is disabled? Kris
