[THIN] Re: latency

Tiffany, you are the second person who has claimed this.  A Matt Kroll
told me the same thing, but MS, Citrix and myself feel that isn't it.  I
put in a test box with 1 hard drive with no RAID controller and got
better performance.

We had this problem but it was because of the
read/write cache settings on our array controller
(Compaq Smart Array 431).  We had to upgrade to a
controller that we could change the settings for the
accelerator ratio (make it 50/50).  After we made that
change the latency went away.
