I'm looking to trace down a performance problem here with a package that is stored on suse server with samba running. we are running accpac here (accounting software). its just sits on the server til asked to be used. all running is down on workstation side. we just in last week upgraded to there latest 7.3 an notice a performance hit now. it is on loading stuff over the network. what im seeing with xosview is that a lot of memory is taking up with cache. is there a way to limite what caches uses to see if this will help us. we have 26 workstations on the network logging into server . im running 1 gig of ram right now, might need to add more but not sure that will help yet. Is there anyone else on the list using accpac an upgraded to the 7.3. our consultant says that everywhere he has put 7.3 in he is seeing this but when he runs the whole thing on his laptop locally. both server side an client its not a problem so its pointing to either the server or network. we do not see a change in the speed even running 1gig network to server its same as on a 100 m nic. thanks jack malone Network Administrator EAST TEXAS LIGHTHOUSE FOR THE BLIND dba HORIZON INDUSTRIES 903-595-3444 http://www.horizonind.com
