-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 look at recompiling your krenel to match the machine. That can give a significant speed increase over the stock kernel. You might laso look at recompiling some of the other software on the machine, to get some better performance from that, but I'm no expert there, either.

I'm going to run some Java Servlet based apps., and some standard Java apps. of own fabrication. It's not because it's going out to the public or anything, it's just for my own experimentation and nothing else. The reason that I'm looking for some optimization on my RH is that I used to run my Java apps. on a FreeBSD machine on a weaker machine, but RH seemed somewhat slower, and I was thinking that it might be because RH ships with a lot of weight that I did not need, and that this slowed my system down. And when I got started, I also got a little interested in how much I could improve performance with some simple changes :) Don't take this as a complaint about RH opposed to FreeBSD, because it is not! If I preferred FreeBSD over RH, I would still be using FreeBSD. I had my reasons to make the shift, and I do like RH so far, I just have to learn it's ways :) Best regards Søren Monday, December 16, 2002, 2:44:52 AM, Ben wrote: BR> On Sun, 2002-12-15 at 15:30, Søren Neigaard wrote: >> The reason I'm looking for performance tuning is my hardware :) I >> have some very old hardware, an old IBM PC Server 520 with HW SCSI >> RAID, but only with 2 P133 CPU's and 256 MB RAM (this is all the >> RAM it will take, so no possible upgrade here).
