Boris, I would agree that my initial impression of 5.3 was that it was slow compared to 4.x. After some tuning, I now have 5.3 running at an acceptable performance level. You may want to start testing the newer versions of 5 current. I have noticed improved performance on my test servers and believe that 5.4 will demonstrate an improvement in performance. I know that the guys on the performance list would like to get some good feedback if you find any specific bottlenecks with it as well. --Nick On Wed, 16 Mar 2005 14:51:43 -0800 (PST), Boris Spirialitious <hardcodeharry@yahoo.com> wrote: > > --- cyb <cyb.@gmx.net> wrote: > > http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64.html > > > > Looks like you will need to use 5.3-release (or > > 5.3-stable/5.4-prerelease if you have more than > > 4GB). > > > > Why can you not use 5.3? > > 5.3 is too slow, and we have custom code.
