Matthew makes a good point. Also, the Volano benchmark is downloadable for
free from their website: http://www.volano.com/mark.html
They give some details about it at http://www.volano.net/guide/mark.html
Plus the give the specs of the client and server that they ran the tests
on. We could certainly plug in TYA and see if that makes a difference.
Any one got a couple of networked PPro's around that would do the testing?
