If you are low on memory, get more RAM. Since you are running C News you should check whether expire runs out of memory. If you aren't low on memory, get more disks. Disks with shorter seek times are preferred over disks with fast transfer rates. The disk seeks are the limiting factor. -- Christoph Badura Now available in print: Lion's Commentary on UNIX 6th Edition, with Source Code http://www.peer-to-peer.com/
