Thanks for the suggestions!

so I tried upgrading to 0.7.1  as suggested.  But I'm still getting 
5MB/s performance...

version: 0.7.1 (api:75/proto:74)
SVN Revision: 1479 build by root at topdog.cs.dartmouth.edu, 2004-08-02 
12:03:25

         [>...................] sync'ed:  0.1% (1430355/1430498)M
         finish: 92:28:02 speed: 4,088 (4,904) K/sec


Course it's now displaying the progress of the sync correctly...  So 
that's is fixed - cool.  But its still darn slow.

Jeff:  What kind of speeds are you getting on the 3Ware now?  It looks 
like your setup if pretty close to mine except that I have xeons 
instead of athlons.

My syncer rate was set at 1G but I changed it to 100M just to match 
what you suggested.  Still the same.

Thanks for all the help though!
Any more suggestions?  :-D

Cheers,
Tim
