I have a box set up with FreeBSD 9.0, on a P4 3GHz, 0.5GB RAM. It is used to host a small website using the AMP framework as well as being a private FTP hub and CVS repository for my own use. The computer gets 1-10 hits per day on the web server and I use it daily for FTP or CVS. However, the first few uses per day have absolutely atrocious response time. It doesn't seem to matter what the task is, an SSH connection, SQL query through JDBC, webpage request to Apache, etc. It will take the system upwards of 45 seconds to respond, even on a LAN connection for those first few requests.
After the system has handled a few requests and been actively used for perhaps fifteen minutes it runs like a dream with no problems at all.
Processor usage never tops 50%, there is always ~200MB of RAM free, the page file is empty. I'm really at a loss as to what is going on and I'm hoping someone out there might be able to send me down the right path.
Thanks.
