Thanks for the tip, but it didn't help. The crux of the info on Macintouch
is that defective DIMMs set up to interleave on PCI macs can cause serious
ethernet performance hits. I switched my DIMMs around so they wouldn't
interleave and it made no difference.
This isn't surprising, since the slow netatalk performance only popped up
last month after working well for six months with the same RAM setup. I
guess I'll run through my extensions to see if that helps and report back.
Thanks,
David
