Hi All, I'm running 18 old pentium 4's as thin clients with a 4 processor (2 dual core Xeon 2.8 GHz), RAID setup, 2 NICs, a 100 MB to the building and a 1000 MB NIC going to the switch which has then has 100 MB going to the clients. It has 3 GB of RAM. I'm running Jaunty. So, even with just 1 client signed in (running System monitor) the baseline for the Network is about 3.2 MiB/s. Then, every 42 to 43 seconds, over a 2 second period the activity spikes to about 6.1 MiB/s. This is like clockwork. Of course, when more people sign in the activity climbs a good bit higher. I don't remember this much network activity before about 2-3 weeks ago. Is this normal? Seems logging in is slower, maybe especially in the afternoon? Hard to pin that one down. Anyway, is this background speed normal? Thanks, David
