Re: WebTen speed improvement on my machine

How did you deal with the Nimda problems? 
Which cache did you 
disable?  What other things have have you done 
to improve the 
performance of your WT server?  I am running WT 
on a B&W and keep 
getting hammered by Nimda infected servers 
which are causing my 
server to crash repeatedly.  It's been running fine 
up until now, but 
with all the people running MS IIS and getting 
infected with Nimda 
and Code Red, the rest of us are having to deal 
with it.

TIA

Karl
