 Re: So...... What's Your Config/Stats?
What version of FW-1 are you using?
I had IP530's for a long time on both R55 and R61. On R55, with just a T-1, the CPU ran consistently between 10% and 15% with 512 MB of RAM. Moving it to R61 caused the CPU to run consistently between 45% and 65% with peaks to 80%.
When we increased the bandwidth to 6 M/bps, the CPU would hit 95%+ regularly. Eliminating all of the Internet Explorer SmartDefense checks, because we were patched against all of them, eliminated the high peaks.
The IP530's are just 721 MHz Pentium III's, so they are really underpowered for today's software. I also figure the newer versions are code-optimized for P-IV's.
