Hi all, I recently installed a Sun Ray 2FS in my wife's office, and the performance--especially the screen update speed--is noticably slower than when I experimented with it here first. Here, I used my Ultra 20 (2.6 GHz Opteron 152 CPU, 2 GB of RAM, and NVidia FX1400 video card), while her office is using a Sun Fire X2100 (2.2 GHz Opteron <mumble>, 1 GB of RAM, and whatever rudimentary video card the X2100 comes with). The network config (small 100 baseT switched LAN) was the same in both cases. One other difference is that my Ultra 20 was running Nevada b81 whereas the X2100 is running b82 (not that I'd think that'd make a difference). Oh, and this is with the latest version of the Sun Ray server software.
So my question is: what is likely to be the main cause of the difference in performance? Is it the video card or (as I'm hoping is the case) is it the CPU and/or memory? (If it's the latter I can make an easier case to replace the X2100 with something more beefy.)
