I snipped out most of Tim's original post because it seems that nobody has referenced the fact that he is using pretty low powered chips. Certainly, I could understand how compression would be slow on these chips and could be the rate limiting steps. Tom's Hardware benchmarked the Atom D510 against circa year 2000 Pentium 4 single core processors and found that for non-multithreaded programs that don't take advantage of new instruction set enhancements, they are pretty equivalent. So, I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is using a "netbook" category performance processor to perform a computationally intensive server-type job... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
