References: <05d101c3a552$b10964b0$8f8b1f43@tsws1> In-Reply-To: <05d101c3a552$b10964b0$8f8b1f43@tsws1> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Spam-Rating: daedalus.apache.org 1.6.2 0/1000/N FYI, my recollections based on when I had done a few tests on moof previously: moof was much faster than Solaris, but on par with a modest pentium that I had at the time. As the number of projects Gump grew to support grew, I had to upgrade my machine to keep up. And despite the promises of write once, run everywhere, there were some failures on moof that I did not see on Linux machines. In many cases, these needed advocates to get people who are responsible for this software to care. It is worth noting that gump will run a number of tests, so from time to time you will find projects have tests that use well known ports (like 8080). The ideal would be a dedicated machine. Linux preferably, but definately not Solaris. - Sam Ruby
