Hi Nige,
Perhaps what you are noticing is the overhead of a TCP/IP connection
on a box that must have a heritage order :)
While I would expect to have some measurable overhead over a TCP/IP
connection on a "database server" specd machine, it should not be
noticable to the user. (There is a difference between measurable and
noticable).
My guess is the thing runs out of RAM when the TCP connection occurs.
In any case, do not expect such a dramatic increase with a better
resourced system.
