Marko,

I suspect then as Kirk mentions it's mostly disk performance. Two drives just simply isn't enough for all but the simplest tasks. We have sold the two mirrored drive configuration to a couple small customers. They were previously running on itty bitty AS/400s so even though to me they are slow the customers are very happy with performance. We upgraded one customer from two drives mirrored to 4 drives mirrored and it was a day/night difference in performance. (100% more I/O bandwidth!) I suggest that if you were to put only two mirrored drives in a 64 processor i5-595 with 512 MB of memory you would get nearly identical performance to the 0.2 of a single processor in the express box. (Yes I know 512MB in a 595 is an illegal configuration!!) Kinda like trying to drain your swimming pool with a soda straw......

Everything looks faster, but the most remarkable example is our package
setup, it usually takes 90/100 minutes, on that machine only 20 minutes...

But also compiling, browsing with pdm, client server activities are a lot
faster.
I'm happy for our customer but we are supposed to have two horses instead of
a mule and an horse.
