Progress report: It seems part of our trigger slowdown (hoedown?) is due
to a problem we had back in June with the machine repeatedly hanging...

at the time we were advised that the hangs came about as a result of
Universe not enjoying the company of AIX 5.1, and a 64 bit thang.
- result? 64 bit thang switch to 32 bit

now it turns out that it was AIX 5.1 that had the issue with 64bit, but
this has supposedly been fixed (reworked) in AIX 5.2

the new answer from blue is that we need to go 64bit (since we're on
5.2) on a newly created JFS2 system, and that it's the contention
between our 5.2 setup using common or garden vanilla jfs that is causing
(some / all) the lag experienced in the trigger scenario...

this is, however, a remarkably clever answer, as it will take us quite
some time to do the whole conversion thang, thereby getting us off their
back... (for a while) :-)

I'm truly dismayed that this triggering business is giving me sorta fast
results, when others have seen a significant slowdown.  We constantly
strive
for productivity slowdowns, and what do we get but something that seems
to
work OK.
