All you've said so far is that the NT is the quickness, the Sun is the slowness, and that the Sun is usually idle. What you may be seeing is the 400mhz processor vs whatever the NT box is running. A single 1.2ghz machine serving 2 people is going to perform better than a 400mhz X 8 machine. But, when the load starts to climb, the slower multiprocessor machine will be able to scale much better, having a much more flat response curve than the single 1.2ghz machine. run ab with a large number of connections retreiving a dynamicly generated file against the NT and then against the Sun machine to see what I mean. You should see an initial lead with the NT box that drops off quickly, where the sun machine should pretty much respond the same throughout the entire test. -Jacob --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
