Message-ID: <30018@news.Think.COM> Date: 25 Sep 89 00:17:22 GMT Sender: news@Think.COM Reply-To: fad@think.com (Franklin A Davis) Organization: Thinking Machines Corporation Lines: 17 I notice that even under 1.0, BreakApp is really slow and jerky. My NeXT is on a network with lots of Suns, Vaxen, and Lisp Machines. A few dozen filesystems are nfs mounted on the NeXT. I though the "Mainframe on two chips" was supposed to take care of handling the network, freeing the CPU... Any ideas why the machine is so boringly plodding? I'm not running any other apps, except preferences and the Browser. --Franklin franklin a davis Thinking Machines Corp.
