I'm not sure what you would classify as legacy stuff. Here I'm doing 3
machines including this as the server, and of course this is the
fastest box, but the clients are a 500mhz K6-III box I use for
firewall, and a 1400 mhz athlon box running my milling machine. This
one claims to be an XP2800, but actually runs at 2.1ghz. So it pays me
about an hour saved overall to let the other boxes do their own thing.
Now if there was a dozen old 150 cyrix's out there, it still might pay
because they'd all be running in parallel, but with only 2, yeah, I'd
do it on the server.
Yeah, that's the situation with us, in that we have a very small number
of servers, and they're all quite a bit slower (CPU wise) than the
backup server, so server side compression is still faster. It really
depends on the mix you have, that's for sure. :)
