Nah...Big yeah...a lot to understand....yeah...but 
not scalable...I don't think so.

Jeremy's comments were about load and performance.  
You're now trying to equate KLOC with number of 
clients.  Those are different things.

ok...I remember this thread and I remember the fact that
dce/rpc sessions are generally short lived so you have a lot
of forking going on.  Magnitudes greater than with SMB 
sessions (which i have seen active sessions last for days
on past servers).


btw...Luke, you should subscribe to the mailing list
if you are going to carry on conversations here.
