I have never tuned my oses before. How does one go about finding where the bottlenecks are? Are there any good resources you can recommend? I haven't started investigating this yet, but will look later when I have some time. I should point out the obvious info I forgot. This particular test server is running NetBSD 10.1 4 cores of an Intel E5-2680 v4 8 gigs of ram It has a 10 Gbit shared port, using vioif0 I'm not sure what hard drive is, but it's 50 Gig and shows up as Qemu. It's also no more than 250 miles from where I live and am testing from. (Apologies for top posting earlier) -- Thanks Peter
