Max, that's right. I used to call that book the "DIM Coffee Table" book. :-) It was a nice illustration of the benefit of Data In Memory (DIM). I wish I recalled the form number.
But definitely I recall one of the "take home" messages being "DIM might well benefit you but it's highly variable whether it will save you or cost you CPU". VIO to Expanded Storage is one exploiter I remember being graphed as negative under some conditions and positive under others. (Slightly) later on I'd co-write the Storage Configuration Guidelines Redbooks. But that's another story. :-) Cheers, Martin Martin Packer Performance Consultant IBM United Kingdom Ltd +44-20-8832-5167 +44-7802-245-584 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
