[K12OSN] Slow performance

[bear2bar at netscape.net]

Hi,

OK here are the specs;

Server
Dual P-III 600 Mhz
2 GB memory
30 GB IDE drive
100 mb NICs

Workstations (Clients)
Compaq SFF P-III, 600 Mhz
512 MB
100 mb NIC

Cable modem connected to a router with two 100mb switches

Sub-net 1- Windows workstations x 3
Sub-net 2 - 10 Clients
Clients have W2K loaded & get their IP address via the linux server
These same clients also do a network boot to become thin clients on the 
linux network

Software
K12LTSP version 4.4 with all updates

Problem
Launching applications either on the client or the server is very slow, 
24+ sec for a terminal window

TOP shows a minimal load on the processors, max of 24% on one processor 
for the gnome desktop, 10 - 15% for X, but usually the load is at 2 - 3%

Any ideas or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

thks
norbert
