Search Again: Re: QDNS and seti From: eric@micromaniac.com Date: Saturday, January 27, 2001 Time: 5:21:43 pm For fun, I ran SETI (the version before 3.03) on all my servers for 2 months to see how it affected performance -- 333MHz beige G3 12-15 hr averages, 400MHz b/w G3 9-12 hr averages & 500MHz b/w G3 6-9 hr averages. SETI really didn't seem to affect latency times on pings and traceroutes. My WebStar servers seemed a little slower to me when accessed from remote broadband connections, but my "visitors" on modem connections said they didn't notice anything. But my FMP server really didn't like it at all because FMP needs to be the front application (or things take more than 5 times longer). QDNS and SIMS are piggybacked on two of those machines. I've since uninstalled SETI (fun's over), but if you try it, be sure to personally check performance from remote locations. My connection is a slower DSL so less CPU is required to handle the connection, but I'd suspect that SETI interference will be more noticeable on T1s and faster connections. tony wrote: > I have two 7200's running only QDNS.
