    How about hints for improving disk performance? I've got a raid array that does 100M/s reads, 80M/s writes under Win2k3 Server, but only 40M/s reads, 80M/s writes under RHEL 3.0. Obviously something is screwy with the linux read speeds, but we can't figure out why.

    I won't even start on our network performance problems, which are around 15M/s transfers (our network is capable of 100M/s).
