How are you mounting the file systems on the Slowaris box? Try mounting them asynch and without access time stamping (noatime). http://ultra.litpixel.com:84/articles/ftat/frameset.html Remember that Sun's stuff will never be as fast as Linux, just much more expensive and have nicer boxes ;-). -- Juha Saarinen _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas - http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm?source=osdntextlink _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
