I went through this performance pain last weekend

A Cluster based on 2 440 Boxes with 256 meg of Ram each went to CPU util of
90 to 95 % ( we run lots of VPN links).

So I ended up at the info I found at
http://oldfaq.phoneboy.com/gurus/200108/msg00142.html

I doubled the Memory using Kingston KTC 6615/256 modules, upgraded the BIOS
to Version 4S4EB2X0.86A.0024.P17 and plugged a PIII with 600 Mhz in.
Now the cluster runs at around 10 to 15 % util.

Be careful not to use 600E or other CPUs, the motherboard only accepts the
plain vanilla 600. I took them from a Compaq Deskpro EN.

Regards

Albert
