Hi everyone, 
 
I recently installed UniVerse 10.0.20 onto a Solaris 8 box (Enterprise 450,
2 x 400Mhz Processors, 1GB memory.) along with Redback, to run a hybrid
Pick/ASPX/Uniobjects based banking application.

Everything seems to work Ok, however the universe spooler daemon process
"usd" seems to chew up an excessive amount of memory and CPU time. 
I've reset the spooler daemon but there seems to be no effect, I haven't
tried stopping and restarting universe or the spooler daemon yet, as this is
now a production banking system. 
 
eg - here's output from "top"  -

You can see "usd" tops the list at 20% CPU time, and 55MB memory. Memory
usage has been gradually creeping up, about 1 MB a day or so.  
Has anyone come across this before? I'm not a universe expert by any means
having come from a mostly oracle background, but this seems pretty
excessive. 
Printing still works as expected but users tell me the system does take a
reasonable time to generate a hold file, ie 3 seconds or so for a small
file. On earler version of universe this was basically instantaneous on the
same platform. 

The app we're running does generate a reasonable number of print jobs and
spooler hold files, but the level of spooler daemon cpu and memory usage
doesn't drop, even when we're not printing anything. 

Any ideas?
Thanks

Dan
