Agree, running sambarserver.info on P2 333 and 128 Mb. Caching/compression
off in Sambar
Only I hope hat Santa Claus is given me a faster network connection.

> With his connection speed and simply serving up basic pages / images (no
databases) I can't see any reasons to go to much trouble.. I have a Pentium
133 with 16MB that could keep up with 128kbps all day long, cached or not
cached. Unless your just not wanting your drive to spin and have a lot of
time / money to waste I don't see much benefit to tweaking out a slow upload
server..

not keeping up with the request then you might consider adjusting cache
levels, cranking up memory and shutting down some of that disk IO.
