To determine if your Mac is the performance bottleneck when a large number of clients are accessing the content cache simultaneously, check the processor usage for the AssetCache process in Activity Monitor (open Activity Monitor, choose View > All Processes, then click CPU). Therefore, in most small to medium scale deployments, the performance bottleneck is usually the bandwidth of your local network. The content cache can serve hundreds of clients concurrently, which can saturate a Gigabit Ethernet port. You get the best performance from your content cache by connecting it to your network using Gigabit Ethernet. Content caching is primarily affected by two main factors: connectivity and hardware configurations.
