New question #79135 on gnome-system-monitor in ubuntu: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-monitor/+question/79135
Hello, I switched ISPs and now have Verizon FIOS. The upload/download is 25/10 mbps. On my Windows XP box, I regularly achieve these speeds. On my Linux box, I was capping out at around 10/10. The Linux box has a gigabit ethernet card connected to gigabit router then through the ISP router (same path as the XP box). I re-installed Ubuntu 9.04 fresh, still getting 10/10. Here's where things get weird and unexplainable. So I started gnome-system-monitor and performed the speed test again. I obtained faster speeds - 24 / 14. I re-ran the test again, around 24/14. So I shut down gnome-system-monitor and re-ran the test again. Back down to 10/10. So my question is, what is gnome-system-monitor doing to speed up my connection? Has anyone observed anything like this? -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
