<p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">As you people seem to have many more servers and clients than me I thought you'd be good people to ask about performance.</font> </p>
<br>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">I have 145 clients, being increased by 83.</font> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">I have 1 XServe Quad core 2 x 2.8 with 2gb of ram and bonded Ethernet ports</font> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">All clients and servers running 10.5.4 and casper 6.01</font> </p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">I am currently imaging 100 macs and the server is running at 90% cpu and 100% ram and with a throughput of mac 54MB/sec</font> </p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">A) is this what i should expect? or is my setup not performing well?</font> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">B) what kind of setup do you people have to deploy how many macs and how big a deployment size?</font> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0">
<font face="Lucida Grande" size="3">C) any advice on how to improve my set, more ram, fibre cards, drive setups, more servers?</font> </p>
