You can tweak the device configuration file, increasing the number of read/write requests as necessary. When I performed my initial testing back in 2001, I found that the default settings were too conservative. Once I turned them up to 32 (used to be 10), performance went through the roof.
I'm curious about the setup process. The installation script should put everything on the boot volume, but you still need to edit the networking device configuration. I know how to do that, but is there something you think could be done better? It's not exactly user-friendly :-/
I'll give that a try! I never ran the installer, just extracted the files to a temp place and made some assigns, copied and checked the config file and then ran the startup command.
I think I prefer the stack not to have a gui, maybe a prefs editior for those less experienced.
