hmm, all rather odd, ive got a P3 733 128meg, intel fxp0 compaq (spit!)
which cant keep up with half used 100base logging to mysql (over another
network card) so im trying to see what i can do to speed it up..

it's build 46 (running well it seems) with defrag and stream4 and 255
rules in it..

am i hoping for too much, or should i throw some (more) hardware at it?
