- Wow. Our NFS server (386/40, 16 MB, SCO Unix 3.2.2) is an order of
- magnitude slower than our Netware server (386/33, 4 MB, Netware 3.11).
- We're using Wollongong's TCP/IP and NFS, but even after extensive tuning,
- NFS file copies are waaaay slower than either Netware or FTP.
-
- Does this mean that SCO's NFS server (version 1.1) has really crappy
- performance? And if so, do any of the Intal-based Unixes (Dell, Everex,
- Solaris, BSDI, ...) have a high-performance NFS server
