New Kerio v. 4.10 Worth UPgrading?

[Lee]

I have been using 4.0.16 for a while now, and am very happy with the interface
and results. Is the upgrade worth the small hassle of dl'ing and tweaking and
the rest?

4.1 adds stateful inspection, which is very good. However, there does
seem to be a lot of bugs in it also.

Can you explain briefly some of the *bugs?* I'm using WinXP SP1.

I'm using Win2k so I can't vouch for XP, but I've seen a few bugs here
in just a few hours. The GUI crashed once so far. Logging of packets
to unopened ports is pretty messed up. Eroneous items appear in the
applications column in the logs, and log entries are duplicated most of
the time, but not always, so you see two of everything. Annoying if
you've been waiting a long time for decent logging in 4.xx..

If you want a better idea of the problems XP users are having, I'd
suggest visiting the Kerio forums and see for yourself. Quite a few
problems reported, including some people who have been unable to
uninstall the program.

See: http://forums.kerio.com/ for more details...

I'm using it here in spite of the problems. An updated version is
expected sometime in late September or early October.

On my older PC ( Celeron 600, 192MB, Win98SE )
KPF 4.1.0 takes about 2-3 times more CPU as 4.0.14.
(4-6 % instead of 1-2 )

It does matter for me because of being resident
and sometimes I need "every CPU percent" for TV card
realtime operation.

Then why don't you use KPF 2.1.5?
It doesn't eat resources at all, and works well.

Thanks to all for your input.

Glad I didn't install it.
