Sheldon - Thanks. I saw where the last release was 10/29/2009. I was mainly wondering if the results were a holistic evaluation or just applying a set computation for each variable independent of the others. We're running 48 GB of memory, a database size of over 700 GB and daily traffic over 300,000 new entries. The customer doesn't do many queries but, when they do, they are complex and can take a long time. Thus, I'm trying to manage the settings to handle the input efficiently but also to provide resources for queries to execute in a timely manner.

Seriously, it is dated and will produce erroneous indications for remediation. If one follows those indications blindly, particularly given our large-memory servers, the results will likely be catastrophically bad.
