I don't really have answers to your questions, and I am sorry that I
will actually add more questions in fact, because the way you spelled
your question I am wondering whether we are looking at a technical or
PHB request if you'l allow me. :)

So:

What do you mean by performance? Network? CPU? Memory? Filesystem? And
in each of these categories, what factor exactly are you looking at?

Amicalement,
Albert.
