Hi

I've got a SUN Fire 280R with 2x72 gig FCAL drives 10k RPM, 2xSPARC
III 1.2Ghz and 2gig of RAM, just recently I was loading a decent sized
database using BerkeleyDB from sleepycat and noticed that performance
was in no way stunning using the same database on a Compaq Proliant
1300R which has 1x500Mhz Pentium III , 512Meg of RAM and a RAID I
noticed the performance was far better by an order of magnitude

I assume the RAID is making some difference as it's got a 32meg cache
but is there anything I can do to improve performance onthe 280R the
performance difference made me wonder if the 280R is not configured
correctly as I can't beleive the 280R can be slower

Any help is appreciated
