**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jul 18 02:59:56 2009 Jul 18 04:07:58 hello kiddlets Jul 18 04:08:17 i have a question Jul 18 04:08:35 the 1.2ghz ARM cpu, how well would this perform for typical NAS/torrents type stuff? Jul 18 04:08:55 i figure there is little (no?) floating point arithmetic in such use, so it should fly? Jul 18 04:09:26 im a bit rusty on my cpu knowledge though... Jul 18 04:11:45 I would assume the same Jul 18 04:12:27 how do you find the network performance? i read a post on the forum saying its not too great Jul 18 04:15:51 I havent had time to test much, but iirc over 10megabyte/s over ssh Jul 18 04:24:15 is that typical for gigabit ShadowJK? Jul 18 04:24:29 i thought gigabit would be higher Jul 18 04:26:04 I said ssh Jul 18 04:26:16 it's cpu bound on encryption Jul 18 04:26:36 oh, right Jul 18 04:40:35 except the cpu has an encryptiion engine Jul 18 04:51:10 which may or may not have a driver, depending on which kernel one is using... Jul 18 04:52:56 well Jul 18 04:53:53 obviously im going to be using a USB hard drive - would the sheevaplug be quick enough to read @ max speed over samba? Jul 18 04:54:29 usb2.0 is slow already, if the cpu/networking/ram is going to bottleneck it further, i might haev to look into other options Jul 18 05:08:49 http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=447.0 <- lol Jul 18 05:31:10 I don't think the included sshd use the hw encryption either way.. Jul 18 05:32:10 * ShadowJK wouldn't expect full usb2 speed over smb, but as I said I haven't tried it yet Jul 18 06:19:46 http://www.computingplugs.com/index.php/SheevaPlug_Performance Jul 18 06:30:08 awesome Jul 18 06:30:09 thanks :) Jul 18 06:31:38 ah, damn doesnt look like its gonna measure up **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Jul 19 02:59:57 2009
