Hello Managers,

My question
      My Wildfire system which also hosts a NFS server gives the best NFS
performance when the same Blast Tables are accessed localy and across
NFS ...

                As always I was flooded with responses . I got respnses
responses and responses .
Almost everybody had one thing to say .
The tables are cached in Memory and so access times for the data is
reduced in comparison to the tables accessed from disk hence the
increase in performance .

Jim Belonis even suggested creating a RAMDISK , to keep t
he tables . As these tables are 16Gigs and getting bigger ;), I will
have to settle to some alternate way of speeding up .

Thanks all for responding .

But this still makes me think as I dont see this performance gain when
two systems are parsing the same data over NFS simultaneously .
