Re: P200 + 128M + 1.1.15 + Network Appliance = SLOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW

The only thing I'd be concerned about in this capacity is that, last I
checked, Linux's NFS implementation runs in user space and is consequently
slower than many others. I'd be willing to bet that this is why your dual
PPro system is running so much better than your single Pentium systems.
Check load averages/top and see just who is sucking the most power: is it
squid or nfsd?
