You can certainly do a lot more hits with something that's slightly bigger; With dual-CPU quad-core P4 boxes with 8 GB of RAM, 4x SATA HD (root, 2x separate cache dirs, logs dir) and systems operating in 2-4 system cache groups I got 400+ hits/second in production and 600+ in test. The specific configuration here, with single CPU and less RAM and one HD, is going to be less capacity than that. But 120 times less? That suprises me... -- -george william herbert george.herbert@xxxxxxxxx
