They may be the Interbase mongers, but I gotta tell you, after all the large scale load testing I've done on HP UX boxes and NT, I think they're right. NT sucks gerbils through straws by comparison. My one criticism is that I can't really see any slowdown due to the GUI. I'm going to have to go buy myself Linux Redhat today I think... :) Regards, Nigel In article <366726de.4402875@keeks.ioc.ee>, chef@roadkillcafe.com (Foxtrot) wrote: > On Tue, 01 Dec 1998 21:17:35 +0000, Dev_Al <alavoor@yahoo.com> wrote: > > >Windows NT is a resource hog more suitable for graphics and win32 GUI > >apps. > > > >The paper at http://www.interbase.com/tech/icon/index.html says so ---> > > Oh, it's the Interbase doom mongers again.
