Tony, I appreciate all the suggestions. I had been thru all of the knife-removal checks .. all except for the TIMELOCK.
I talked it a little bit with CA... then went to the TIMELOCK(10,160,320,3000) .. and things got better. So, I went back and had some more conversations to better understand the lock what is happening. After the second discussion, I decided that the lock-loops (a system that gets the lock is going to have a tendency to get it again before the other systems can get in) were still an issue. And our CF response time is very good 200-300 nanosecond response time. We are now using TIMELOCK(5,320,640,6000). The trade-off is some additional cpu time and some really good response times. A list of the database was taking about 40-45 minutes (primarily used to force the database into the CF and to make sure all the miscellaneous profile/acid maintenance happens). Now is at 19 minutes .. which is about 130 accessor Ids per second.
