I have not seen this problem but Ndm has different levels of compression. Do you know what level of compression was used? I think level 1 is the default.

Yesterday afternoon the started task, CDNDM, took from 50-60% of an engine on our z9BC for almost 2 hours while it transferred a large file. This caused us to hit our softcap and affected other tasks in the system. We have the CDNDM task running in our STCLO service class which is set for Vel=50 and an importance level of 4. It was still running at a high DP and grabbed the CPU. I can't understand why a task that is basically transmitting a file over the network should need this much CPU. My only explanation might be that it is compressing the data before putting it on the network and the compression algorithm isn't the most efficient in the world. Has anyone else had this kind of a problem running Connect:Direct? What, if anything, did you do to control it?
