dell blades so slow

[Justin Crabtree]

We have several Dell blade servers, model 1655MC, being used as ldap 
servers.  These are dual PIII machines with 1G RAM and two mirrored U160 
SCSI drives with a U320 controller.  They currently have Fedora Core 2 
installed with version 2.1.29 of OpenLDAP running.  We have been 
experiencing all kinds of latency and iowait problems with these servers 
compared with other hardware setups.  Has anyone else encountered any 
similar problems?
