1 I recently moved my server from:
2
3 3.2.11-hardened
4 Security Level (Hardened Gentoo [server])
5
6 to:
7
8 3.4.5-hardened
9 Configuration Method (Automatic)
10 Usage Type (Server)
11 Virtualization Type (None)
12 Required Priorities (Security)
13
14 and http became extremely slow. Some pages that would normally
15 execute in 1 second would take 10 seconds or more. There is a lot of
16 php and perl server-side stuff so the slowdown may have been rooted in
17 that. I changed to Required Priorities (Performance) and everything
18 sped back up to normal. My laptop was moved to the following at the
19 same time and I didn't notice any performance change:
20
21 3.4.5-hardened
22 Configuration Method (Automatic)
23 Usage Type (Desktop)
24 Virtualization Type (None)
25 Required Priorities (Security)
26
27 Is this sort of behavior expected from a server?
