I believe you meant that there was a decrease in response time (the Cache system was faster than the DSM system it was replacing). VMS stayed the same. At least it was at the site I was at. The biggest impact was the loss of so many familiar tools from DSM which were majorly changed or missing from Cache. > > What VistA needs is a prepackaged configuration with a platform specific > installation script which installs on the users desired OS/MUMPS > combination.
