When people are talking about squeezing 500Mb from an APU they are probably talking about a PCEngines APU board (quad 1GHz cpu), and usually about routing throughput not userland network throughput. So that's a totally different thing than you are looking at; userland throughput _and_ disk writes but on a board several times the speed. > Can a more powerful CPU help with this kind of situations?

Something seems fairly wrong for it to be that slow though. HD not SSD certainly won't be helping but it should be way faster than that. -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
