[Rabbit-proxy-users] Question on system req.

[dar s. <ju...@ho...>]

Hi,

I had once tried using a cyrix IBM MII 333 64MB Ram (ALL onboard SIS55984mb 
VGA) and presently a Coopermine 566(Overclocked to 700MHZ) with 385MB ram 
(western digital 10GB and could not see any diffrence. As a rule in all 
applications, each is bound to a software performance limit. No matter how 
fast your hardware is . More or less As like in other simmilar proxies Ive 
used (squid, apache, ISA MS, and netscape and even wingate and winroute, the 
addressing of hardware is best seen on the load of your program. If i was 
running a proxy specially a filtering one on a 333mhz 64MB harware surely 
its performance will greatly vary if used only for 10 users and 100 users. 
One thng nice about rabbit is that it isrunning on optimum . Also consider 
the factor that its a filtering proxy. Imagemagick is resource consuming (if 
youre using it) and also OS. (I see that the performance is very low and 
buggy in win32 (not bec. of  the proxy design - java is supposed to be more 
efficient in win32 and 64- but bec. of  image magic )(take notthat NT has 
the convert command also).
