Ok. Enough about the debate of ASIP vs AppleTalk vs Netatalk vs AppleShare vs
blah blah.
I broke down and did some speed testing of my own to evaluate our current
servers and a proposed replacement server for our old DX4-100. I've posted
the results, they are not complete, but are a start. I plan on running more
tests under load from 1 - 20 clients. To see how things work then.
I have the raw data and an excel spreadsheet if anyone is interested.
Test Results can be found at:

My next step is to run the bonnie disk benchmarking program on each machine
to have that to compare against. For those not familiar, bonnie is a unix c
program that does very good hard drive tests, it's a good indicator of how
well the OS and drive sub system handle LOTS of disks accesses.
More as it comes available
