Do you have a screenshot from top and a few lines of `vmstat 3` output? You could also just type sar to look at the average system utilization in 10 minute intervals since midnight if it's configured on your system. That would help verify that CPU is indeed limiting your throughput. > The backup server runs fine, but e.g. using the web GUI or logging in via > SSH is *sluggish*.

If logging in via ssh is sluggish, that does indicate memory pressure to me... If you log in twice in a row is it still sluggish the second time or does it improve? -Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
