I can't comment on your other problems - but I have a dual PIII server
and say a 30% performance increase when moving to 6.x over 5.x ... and
it's been rock solid. I only run releases on that box though, but it
does perform really nicely on PIII duals when you can get it stable.
Seems a shame that you are having so many problems.
