The only thing that has seemed to make a big difference for me was disabling various power-saving features in the BIOS (ie: C-states and similar). I'm not sure if it matters, but all the systems I have tested with and gotten decent results have at least 4 cores and at least 4G of ram (ie: no swapping even with typical light desktop usage). -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
