I like how posting got fairly fast. Then we started putting absurd amounts of ram into servers so now they’re back to slow.

Like we have a high clock speed dual 32 core AMD server with 1TB of ram that takes at least 5 minutes to do it’s RAM check. So every time you need to reboot you’re just sitting there twiddling your thumbs waiting anxiously.

I will date myself. These machines had a lot of memory as well which added to the slow reboot. I think it was 16 gigs.

The r series for IBM took forever. The p series was faster but was still slow
