What is your NFS package? If you are using disk access, try setting up a favorite network. (controlPanel->DiskAccess->Configure NFS Lans->Add)
Add in all of your view server and vob server hosts into this table. This is supposed to accelerate the NFS access. Make sure you are running on a 100-base-T network. Believe it or not 10-base-T slows things down considerably. Make sure there are no unnecessary routing hops between your client, your viewserver, and your vob server. If you are running clearcase 4.2 make sure your view and vobs servers are running with at least patch level 14. There is a serious performance problem that was fixed. Clearcase runs slower and slower and slower and eventually drops to a crawl. If your view server and vob server havn't recently been rebooted, you might be experiencing this. Increase your view server and vobs server cache size to the highest possible size. Purchase some form of battery backed up RAM for your disks (i.e. NFS Accelerator, or huge ram buffer on the drives). NFS is a "secure" protocol, and when writing over NFS, it won't actually acknowlege the write packet until its physically written to the disk. Battery backed up cache on your NFS servers will dramatically accelerate the NFS writes. Make your vob servers run on separate boxes. The actual database server itself is single threaded. Multiple processors doesn't accelerate anything. Put each vob on a different host, and then the parallel processing can accelerate things. Get rid of any unnecessary protocols (novell, etc). The best option is, however, to use dynamic views. Even if you use IDEA on an NFS mounted directory, it still is quite a bit slower then running locally.
