Hi Folks,

I am experiencing a performance problem on my 7.6.03 AR System. The
problem gets worse over time. When the server is started, performance
is fine. For example, it takes about one second to load a particular
record in the Windows client and about two seconds to load the same
record in the Mid Tier. However, if I load the same record later in
the day, maybe after the server has been running for 12 hours, the
time to load the same record is about twice as long.

If I restart the server process, response time returns to the original
timings. This behavior is consistent whether the system is heavily
loaded or lightly loaded, but the degradation seems to happen faster
if the system is heavily loaded

The arserverd is running on a Sun SPARC-Enterprise-T5120 with 16 Gb of
RAM. I have tried a variety of queue/thread configurations from
minimal to way over-allocated. I have used Misi's fabulous RRR|Log
tool and I see that there is absolutely no thread contention at all.
When the system is running, top shows:

90 processes:  86 sleeping, 3 stopped, 1 on cpu
CPU states:  100% idle,  0.0% user,  0.0% kernel,  0.0% iowait,  0.0% swap
Memory: 16G real, 12G free, 509M swap in use, 11G swap free

So it appears that I have plenty of hardware.

I am pretty sure that it is not a database problem because I have
analysed the SQL logs and the transaction times are consistent. The
additional time between the short times and the long times appears to
all be within the API time. That is to say, the time from beginning to
end for any particular API call seems to increase while the embedded
SQL transactions within the API calls stay relatively constant.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to look for? Thanks for any insights.
