well, i've posted rough benchmarks to the list a couple of times. P5-120, 64MB RAM, 2940 SCSI (NOT wide SCSI), SMC 100Mb Enet simulatenous innxmits to 75 sites resulting in over 6 million articles fed per day. load average never exceeds 3 and is usually under 2. the use of raw disks in a cyclic manner means that expire is never run on machines with these mods. we can sustain over 200 articles/sec between machines using raw disks and have seen bursts over 400/sec. we upgraded the machine to 128MB RAM to stop solaris from swapping so much, but 64MB was (is) plenty using freebsd. as i said, i will get the code released as quickly as i can. on a side note, did you know that www.be.com is running freebsd?
