Re: IBM i to network connection performance

It ain't the hardware, it's the OS. Pretty much using the same hardware,
back when IBM supported IXS (and it's predecessors) I could get it to run
much faster by having Windows on that IXS card.
IBM has acknowledged that IBM i isn't the fastest file server on the
market. At one release they were supposed to have brought it more up to
parity.

There's a few nuggets here:

Some people prefer NFS.
