ZCAT xxx.Z|tar -xvf - decompression slow ?
I have recently built a new server and patched Soalris 10 up tp latest bundle etc...
When I run a decompress using the format zcat fred.Z |tar -xvf - it runs at a very slow rate.
A similiar server which is less powerful runs over twice as quick.
Is there any work arounds to configure decompress ?
I know I can try other forms of compression/de-compression but a quick fix to getting this working correctly would be helpful.
I have heard might be some kernal parameters to change ?
thanks
