We have tested with other INTEL machines (in particular a dual PIII). Optmisation options at this time seem to be limited to choice of compiler (testing suggests that gcc 3.x doesn't provide any significant increase in performance). > Matt > >>> So how does a windows 1.6 server compare to a linux/bsdone? >> >> Here are some stats from a single 2.4 - with nothing else running, >> and with sys_ticrate 100.
