Subject: performance once again...

I've seen a few messages regarding this but none seems to answer
my couple of questions definitively. I'm interested in gauging
netatalk performance in the following environment.
I'm running netatalk-asun on a FreeBSD 4.0 system. The clients
are a mix of MacOS9 (iMac 350s) and a G4/450.
The software where we need the performance is MYOB which shares
the datafile and does lookups when requestings lists of data
such as customers and such.
MYOB has two options for network access: TCP/IP and Appletalk
The server is currently an AMD K62 / 350 with minimal RAM at this
time. The drive is a new ATA66.
Client access on the netatalk server seems to be better than from the
iMac but not by much of course having the datafile on your local machine
is MUCH better.
I'm wondering where the bottlenecks are in the system.
Options are:
RAM (currently 64 MB)
Faster disk drive (I have a spare U2W drive and card)
Faster CPU?
I'm interested in any suggestions.
regards, -d
