WebTen speed improvement on my machine

Hi again,
        Just thought I'd post this for those who are using older machines &
WebTen. I have a 7300/200 with 128MB RAM & Mac OS 9.1 which currently has
an old 2GB Seagate 5400rpm drive running WebTen 3.0.3 - it's reasonably
fast, but no big speed demon compared to an iMac or above. It's been quite
stable except for the recent Nimda / stalling problems which for me were
fixed by switching the cache off which improved speed, response times etc...
        I also have a 7600/200 with the same specs (i.e. Mac OS 9.1, 128MB
etc...) but I fitted a Seagate Cheetah 10,000 rpm drive in preparation for
setting up Yellow Dog Linux. I partitioned the drive so as to install a Mac
OS partition, did a fresh install of Mac OS 9.1 & then installed WebTen
3.0.4 & did the Tenon 9.1 update.
        Bearing in mind that the only real difference between the 2
machines (apart from the model numbers) is the faster hard drive on the
7600, but the speed difference in WebTen is quite apparent even with basic
activities such as startup & response, loading up Webmail - running perl
scripts & PHP. I'm really surprised by how much faster it is.
        For info on the drive, it's a 68 pin interface which I had to get
an adapter from the 50pin Mac SCSI interface to adapt & will have to cut a
slot (about half an inch) in the Mac's internal case to shut the case
properly as the adapter is a little too long for the drive bay.
        Hope this is of use to anyone who wants to speed their older server up.


        Bye for now, Terry Allen
