Dear gurus !
For those of U who use Metalink :
When U go to the home page http://metalink.oracle.com , U are prompted =
for the server U want to use :
USA , Europe or Pacific Asia .
Now , i've discovered that it's fastest to use not "your" server .
For example , if U are in Europe , it's faster to use the USA server =
than the European one .
Why ?
I guess that it's because of the time difference .
When it's midday in Europe , it's a night time in the USA , so U are =
almost the only user of the USA server -> U get the best performance ! =
:))=20
I spent some time comparing the response times ( while being in the = Europe , the USA and Australia ) and it's always faster to use the = server of the region where it's the middle of the night now .
Just FYI .
