Hi list,
I have an old netfinity 7000 (Quad PIII 500, 1Gb RAM) running 6.2 at the
moment. I was wondering if it will take benefit of all the SMP improvement of 7
or is it too old? It runs a few postgresql databases, peak loads in the 2 to 4
range.
As I do not have another equivalent machine, I prefer to ask before trying
myself.
I quite happy with the performances of my laptop (centrino duo) under 7, and
hope my old server will be as happy as my laptop.
thanks in advance,

My hacked up 386 showed gains going from 6.2 to 7, the big win that I've
noticed is scp throughput, I can sustain 40 to 45kbps where in the past
the box walled at around 30kbps. Apache seems to have less latency
responding to gets also. I'm just running a 7b3 kernel at the moment,
I'm going to have to repartition with a lot more swap space to be able
to build a 7 world (When did the ram use for a buildworld skyrocket?!)
but even with this setup, 7 + ULE is a win for me.
My other test case is a dual P3 1ghz box, running qmail, and moving from
6 to 7 has given me a decent boost in mail throughput capacity. (The box
can now sustain approx 250 messages a second where before it would start
backlogging before 200 messages a second.)
