I have an old Cyrix 486 dx4/100 machine running Win 2k that I use for NAT
and storage. It idles at 10% processor when just running NAT and it's happy
to still have a job on my net.. I was considering converting from FAT32 to
NTFS. Which file system is easier on the cpu?
 
Fat32. But the difference isn't much if you do a NTFS format. A
conversion will cause a noticible decrease in thruput.
