This is not untypical of linux systems. This is a decided plus. Scholar is connected to the internet through NYU-NET, New York University's local area network which currently serves over 16000 computers, routers, bridges, and other devices. Some of the delays occasionally seen in serving web pages from scholar are due to heavy usage on NYU-NET and the fact that the internet northeast corridor backbone is often very congested. It is hoped that future improvements in internet design will alleviate this problem.
Scholar does more than serve web pages.
It is also my primary research and writing machine. I not only run number crunching programs on it, I also read various newsgroups, write reports, and surf the web on it. The machine never staggers under the load. Back to scholar's TOP PAGE .
