Geoffrey,

I recall a reference on the list indicating that newer Xeon processors
don't suffer from the context switching problem reported last year.

Just to be clear, it's a software problem which affects all architectures, including AMD and Sparc. It's just *worse* on the PIII and P4 generation Xeons.

Thanks, that's what I need to hear. They've since cut a deal for Operton based hardware, so the point is now moot.
