Re: Slow web connections

Yep your problem is on the DB tier. It is having a domino effect on the app and web tiers. I don't know how powerful the IBM processors are but I would also check the I/O wait on your DB.

Also just so you can compare the speed of your storage run the following command on a mount that has at least 2 GB of free space:

time dd if=/dev/zero of=BigFile bs=1024k count=2048

This takes about 3.2 seconds to run on our fastest Dell MD 3000 storage arrays.
