I transferred a 23M file via FTP from my NT box to my FreeBSD box last
night. The transfer rate varied between 170 and 200 KB/s. I thought that
was a bit low over a CAT5 with 10M cards. So I looked to see what was
going on in the FreeBSD box. I found ftpd was running very high. The
snapshot below is not typical. It often was 50 or 60% of CPU.
Is this normal for a 3.1-Stable box on an old 486 with 16M of RAM?
