[platformx-ps-devel] stargate: slow ethernet and other email lists???

[Remo S. <re...@ne...>]

Hi everybody,

just got our stargates and started playing around
with them. Neat little machines indeed. 

This list doesn't seem to have to much activity
and was wondering if some of you know about other
stargate specific or related e-mail lists...

While playing around with them I noticed that
the wired ethernet doesn't seem to be very fast
(at least not with the original software).

Especially inbound connection speed is quite
slow (copying into /tmp and hence into the 
ramdisk, as copying into the flash part
is way slower):
inbound:
scp is around 200kB/s
ftp is around 270kB/s
both of which are WAY below what I would expect with
such a juicy processor

outbound is way better with:
scp around 600kB/s 
ftp around 1100kB/s

first I thought maybe ramdisk writes are really slow,
but a 20mb tar of the modules directory into /tmp
went ultrafast, so can't be that....
Which makes me think maybe it's a timing issue
in the ethernet driver? Anybody any ideas????

thanks a lot in advance
