[Gluster-users] IOPS and CPU cycles, what is the relationship between the two?

[Eliezer Croitoru]

Thank Oliver,

Well considering that TCP-Offloading do exists on the NIC hardware then 
it's down to a bit less.
Now the controller is the basic limit.

I know I want to learn system engineering :D
I am a SysAdmin for about 8 years now and it's interesting enough to 
make me think about all sorts of questions which do not have a very 
accurate answer even about the basic calculations.

All The Bests,
Eliezer
