They just kind'a keep going. When you say "keeping up", there's really 
no scale on which to measure their performance 'till I demonstrate how 
it could be done better. They move data and zip and unzip it. What sort 
of performance metric would you suggest?

Patrick's suggestion was a good one, and I may just use my U10 (440 
w/SCSI) to demonstrate just why a Sun box is (or isn't) a better solution.
