We've upgraded one of our Nokia IP440's to NG FP3 from 4.1 SP6, and all is
well now after the usual post upgrade tweaking.

Now it's time to ponder the upgrade of our backup IP440, and wonder if we
can go to NG with AI.

l'm wondering about 3 things:
1)      Ease of upgrade
2)      stability
3)      performance hit

Is it an easy upgrade from NG FP3? (l will have upgraded to NG FP3 before
proceeding).

Which is the most stable release to install? (l have heard of issues with
certain releases and patches)

Is there a big performance hit compared to NG FP3? Our ip440 seems to run
fine with NG FP3, but from what l understand AI can add a lot of overhead
to a system. Can any of you comment on that?, especially any IP440 users.
My client has many popular news web sites and get over 40 million page
views a month, so performance degradation would be a big issue.

Thanks in advance,

Alan.
