new G5 at work

So I was just over in the test lab to get a snack and I noticed that one of the test guys was setting up a G5. Yes, this is a dual 2GHz G5. He said he was about to run some benchmarking on it so I stuck around for a few minutes. He was only running SCSI data through one of our HBA's out to two disk arrays, but he said normally he gets 189 MB/sec on a dual 867 G4. This time he got 364! Impressive...

Anyways, I have been working on getting UDP sockets working in wxWindows all morning. I think I just found the option to do it. Damn, all this time and all I had to do was pass the wxSOCKET_DATAGRAM flag.

UPDATE: We changed the config a little bit and let the drives in the disk arrays spin up all the way and we can crank now! 480+MB/s
