Thanks. Easy to tell what mood I was in that day. Back to the subject of Netserver. Check this link... http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/netserver/v5r4whatsnew.htm l There is a note about a performance enhancement. I don't know the implications of the change however.

Your attitude is commendable - I probably should have pursued the issue further. Given the general-purpose nature of the machine, I would have expected these results. Not that they should be acceptable. My unofficial opinion is that despite all of the new work that the iSeries now does it is and still is a 5250/batch machine at heart. In addition, that would affect things such as Netserver, HTTP, JAVA, etc. Not saying that it does other things badly just not as well. And definitely not scientific. I will try to do some more work on the underlying nature of the issue. I am not an expert but I think I can get some assistance in this area.

Being a system i bigot, it is hard for me to accept the idea that others do anything better/faster. rob@xxxxxxxxx wrote:
Actually I think his explanation was outstanding. Especially the tips
about tuning the run time characteristics of the server jobs. What else could it be? Well, I am not technical enough to reverse engineer the NetServer code
to
see if the code is less efficient than Windows. Perhaps it was the onboard processor of using a Windows IXS card to
handle
just file serving. Would that be like having a dedicated IOP just for
NetServer? Bus thingy? I don't think so. I've heard that iSCSI can even be a
better
performer than IXS for this kind of file serving. Rob Berendt
