It just does not seem to match what I have seen. Our little ole website has been known to take a few connections from slow clients, but we have not really seen this slow down. I'd like to see more specifics of the test. All of my numbers are from real world "stuff."

I'm sure other OS's have something similar?) -- Brian Akins Chief Operations Engineer Turner Digital Media Technologies
