Hello, I installed OpenBSD 3.7 (Sparc64) on my Ultra 5 and it's performance is not what I'd expected. I'd recently had Solaris on there (using CDE) and it ran quite quickly but with OpenBSD, when I do an 'ls -la', it takes forever for the screen to scroll through the list and try it via ssh! Slow. I'm using it as a Web server and it's noticably slower at serving pages than the old x86 I had doing the job before was.
Anyone know something about this? Regards, sl Here's it's dmesg (This took forEVER): /*--------------------8<--------------------- console is keyboard/display Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993 The Regents of the University of California.
