It's not about size of the machine, it's what you do with it. 8-) For anything other than trivial workload, "hundreds to thousands". It still depends a lot on what you want to do with them. Small, spiky workloads will allow the thousands number. Websphere or Oracle: dozens. > Has anyone pushed up the unreasonable upper limit recently? The number of scheduler queue entries hasn't changed in any release of z/VM that I'm aware of, so I doubt the TP:Omega number is in any real hazard as the milestone for insanity. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
