I recently moved my server from: 3.2.11-hardened Security Level (Hardened Gentoo [server])
to: 3.4.5-hardened Configuration Method (Automatic) Usage Type (Server) Virtualization Type (None) Required Priorities (Security) and http became extremely slow. Some pages that would normally execute in 1 second would take 10 seconds or more. There is a lot of php and perl server-side stuff so the slowdown may have been rooted in that. I changed to Required Priorities (Performance) and everything sped back up to normal. My laptop was moved to the following at the same time and I didn't notice any performance change: 3.4.5-hardened Configuration Method (Automatic) Usage Type (Desktop) Virtualization Type (None) Required Priorities (Security) Is this sort of behavior expected from a server? - Grant
