  10. We're running a NeXT cube (68040/25Mhz) with 2.5 GB of disk serving 50
  11. NFS clients or so.  We're considering upgrading the server with a
  12. Turbo board (68040/33Mhz).
  13.  
  14. My question is, with such a configuration, is upgrading to a Turbo
  15. likely to help?  It's quite possible that the machine is disk-bound,
  16. in which case increasing the CPU speed won't significantly help.
  17.  
  18. Any comments?
