Thanks for the data point/confirmation. I'll try it on another OS and see if
anything changes.

John is talking about Egg McMuffins, while you are talking about croissants. 
They are two different things.

It may be a NIC speed issue... no ?
VAX have often AUI nic about 10Mbits/s Half so if you have hard 100Mbits/s Full 
it can cause a duplex conflict...
then a very low speed network... 

not sure this is the problem but check

OpenBSD VAX on SIMH, sloooow networking!

2013-02-05 Thread John Long
I installed OpenBSD VAX on SIMH. Host is OpenBSD 5.2 stable amd64.

Networking from within SIMH is unbelievably slow. It takes 5 hours to
download base52.tgz. I've done ftp and NFS installs from my own local
servers, performance to my host box is 7 MB/sec. In SIMH it's about
4kb/sec.

Running SIMH on a mipsel64 box running OpenBSD 5.2 stable is exactly as
bad. Has anybody experienced and overcome this?

Thanks,
