Thanks. We were thinking about a NFS server, but SA concerns seemed more
important. If both can coexist peacefully, this may be the exact same
solution that we use.

This is what I don't get. If you can handle an avg of 500/hr, which.... oh,
wait... that's per hour. Ah, OK. That's 8/min. I'm doing an avg of 48/min
(255/min max). But I swear someone else had a throughput higher than that
who was not having CPU issues.
ANYONE? What kind of throughput are people able to get from SA on a single
processor machine?
Does anyone have a gathering of that kind of info? (would be nice to see on
the wiki)
TIA!
