Slow HTTP Proxy and High Ping in V7.009

All:

I upgraded to V7.009 this weekend from v6.313 to take advantage of the content filter.  While it does seem to work, browsing, downloading and latency (ping) have been adversely affected.  Example:

HTTP proxy disabled:
6.1 Mb Down/720Kb Up,  Pings 30 - 50 ms

HTTP proxy enabled:
3.1 Mb Down/702 Kb Up, Pings 150 -250 ms
I had disabled Http cache, AV, and spyware during my tests.

V6.313 (HTTP proxy enabled) stats were very similar to V7.009 (HTTP proxy disabled).  I assumed I had sufficient hardware to run V7 (see sig.).  I found Williams tweaks, but I didn't fully understand all of them.  I ran V6.313 on a dual P3-800 with 512 MB RAM.

Do I need to go a full 2 or 3 GB RAM or perhaps replace the old HDD with something newer?  I have a IDE, SATA, and U320 scsi support on my motherboard.  Should I go back to V6 and wait a while longer?  I guess my only issue with rolling back, is I had to upgade my home license to V7 for the content filter to work.

Thanks

I find it hard to believe I would be the only user to experience this problem. No ideas from anyone? I leave it here for another day then I'll post this general or hardware forums.

Please disable the HyperThreading on your Xeon processor. Astaro does not play well with HT. You may want to do a config backup before your disable HT, and then a reinstall of ASG and a restore of your backed up config.

Do you know if Astaro has identified the cause of this issue?

I'm just a home user, so I did not open a support case with them. I'll have to do that. I figured I'd try the forums first.

dual P3-800

no HT on p-3's.

However dual 800's are not going to handle astaro v7 well at all. Also unless you want to use some unsupported tweaks I have put in then 1 gig of ram is the minimum.

William,
try 7.009, you will be pleasantly surprised on how small the foot print is now.

A home user with a simple setup should be able to get away with 512mb of ram.
