Maybe so, but it MAY simply be that microsoft's multiprocessor support is better than LINUX's...I'd like to see the same test on a single processor machine....its not impossible that NT4 was optimized for use on a multi-cpu machine...they certainly have had more time with intel to work on it than the linux people have. If you keep trying systems you'll find one that makes your product look good...at least you dont have to reboot linux to change an IP address :-) Dennis To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
