Are you implying that CPU is your primary performance concern? I've been a performance/capacity analys for almost 30 years, and rarely has CPU been the problem. IO & paging (which should be rare) have always been the problem. Especially with today's fast processors, CPU is the last bottleneck. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
