Yes it is network performance: I took exactly the same PC, and I did exactly the same operation. It has been verified in several circustances, with several PCs. -----Messaggio originale----- Da: Simon Oliver [mailto:simon.oliver@umist.ac.uk] Inviato: lunedi 17 marzo 2003 10.53 A: Marco De Maddalena Cc: Suse-Linux-E Oggetto: Re: [SLE] Network performances Marco De Maddalena wrote:
I have a server with SuSE8.1 I have noticed that Linux PCs with old kernel 2.0.x have bad network performance. (92 secs for a PC with 2.0.x against 7 secs for a PC with 2.4.x to copy a 36MB file - same HW) Does anybody have some hints, other than upgrade to newer kernel, since not always possible?
Are you sure it is network performance, how about local disk I/O. If you're using IDE drives could be hdparm settings that are to blame. -- Simon Oliver
