>Ahh, but it does. THAT I disagree with! Too many times have I found that mixing I/O bound and CPU bound jobs on the same system kills the performance of the I/O bound jobs. The only goal that has MTTW (wherein this can be detected and compensated for) is discretionary. I have never had the luxury of having a machine idle enough to allow that workload to even run. We are a world-wide country with workloads peaking all day long. In that environment, we can hardly get even the 4's & 5's to run. The answer is an upgrade; the cost is an issue. (We are out-sourced, with all that entails) When in doubt.
