[cisco-voip] CCM Web Page performance issues, aka 'Loading, Please Wait' (a rant)

[Paul Choi]

Linux is just an OS. What people put on top of it is
largely their choice. If Cisco installed wine and ran
IIS on top of that for their web server, then that
would likely run slowly. 

I am not informed on the Linux-based CCM boxen but I'd
certainly hope that Cisco is using apache to serve its
webpages. I've heard that the DB is Informix or
something like that.

My point being, it doesn't matter what OS you are
using - if you put a slow application on it, it'll
still run slow no matter what you do to it.
