it's the bandwidth that's the problem, like as not. hardly any web servers i know use more than a small fraction of the cpu power available. cpu power is cheap. i guess they really need to "shape" the network traffic (specify a maximum transfer rate for the various applications). this isn't trivial, but there are established techniques (possibly even in the web server software). robin _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://mailman.nfit.au.dk/mailman/listinfo/icking-music-archive.org-tex-music
