The Speed problems may not be isolated to your CPU. You'll want to make sure your conntrack table isn't getting full, and that conntracks are safely getting expired from your system. Are you using a custom kernel, or a stock distro one? Just for fun, could you forward me the following: # cat /proc/loadavg # free # iostat 20 2 (sysstat package is nice for accounting) # top (grab the CPU lines, over time is best) # cat /proc/slabinfo # cat /proc/net/ip_conntrack | wc -l # hdparm /dev/<your disk(s)> # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_max # w # netstat -i # mii-tool wow.. there are a lot of areas to look into.. Anyways, hope to find something. > Thanks. > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- > Shawn Wright, I.T. Manager > Shawnigan Lake School > http://www.sls.bc.ca > swright@xxxxxxxxx Good ol' BC boy!
