   I think you're talking about a different machine.  There's nothing 
"slow" about an AS4100.  Those machines kick ALL SORTS of ass.  Amazing 
I/O bandwidth, amazing memory bandwidth...great CPU performance if you 
have faster boards (anyone ever see an AS4100 with four 600MHz 21164A 
processors with 8MB of cache each?  Zoom!).

   I have Cray supercomputers here.  I know what "fast" is all about.  
An AS4100 is fast.
