Alix 2d3 and pfsense 2.3

[apex]

Why is v2.3 so slow on alix?
It's practically unusable?

:(

Mount the CF card R/W permanently and it should be way better.

And also disable the automatic update check in the dashboard

Running and ALIX box with 2.3 and I cannot even get to the update page. After about 3 mins I get  a 504 Gateway Time-out.

At the console, get to the shell (option 8) and

/etc/rc.conf_mount_rw

Then you should get better response from the webGUI.
Disable the dashboard automatic update checks.
Diag->nanoBSD set the system to permanent RW.

Then (if convenient) reboot and check that it comes back RW and the dashboard/webGUI feels happier.
