BRS/Search Benchmark Timings Benchmark Conclusions Never use UNC paths on NT machines if at all possible BRS/Search performance on NT is memory dependant: add more memory NT does not make great use of additional processors on a multi-processor system BRS/Search can be effectively used in medium to large production applications using Windows NT Conclusions are based on Windows NT 4 Service Pack 3 Discussion Issues When should NT be used, and when should you consider Unix? What should be recommended for 16 user system, 32 user system, etc..? Is NT a good system for NetAnswer? Should NetAnswer the web server live on the same machine?
