RE: Performance tips for WindowsNT on /400?

I was finally able to help their response time considerably by doing the 
following:

CFGTCP, option 3, change the send & receive buffers to 1024000
On each Windows NT PC (including the server), change the TCP buffers to 64

The clients response was that it was "incredibly faster", the boss gave me 
a high-5.  Talk about a good day!

We have a similiar environment (We actually have 16G and 128M RAM at V4R4 
-
all desktops at 128M 100mb/s) and it takes almost a full minute to get a
5250 sign on (from 10 feet away).  Interactive response is down to a few
seconds, but I get better response time from a client's 640 via a 56K 
modem.
EGADS!

David Mace helped out with a few suggestions, but it's still not great.

Is anyone from IBM out there?  Is the 170 just a dog?!?

I've got a customer who has an INS board, running Windows NT 4.0 (SP4), 
12g
disk (across 4 disks), 64m RAM.  Three primary users, each with 128m RAM 
in
their NT Workstations (SP4). Everyone connects via TCP/IP at 100mb/s. 
Their
AS/400 (9406-170) is at V4R3, a cum package installed 10 weeks ago.
Performance adjustment is off, performance monitor is off, disk mirroring
is in effect. They no longer do AS/400 stuff, just NT.  It looks as if 
they
have plenty of free space on the NT (800m free in D:, 176m free in E:), 
the
AS/400 disk usage is at 87%. They have Timberline software installed on 
the
INS board, and it runs like a dog.

What can I do to enhance the performance?
