RES: ER performance

The processors are: 2 Intel XEON 2.8 GHz 512K L2 Cache 533 MHz External Bus Speed RedHat Linux 8.0 Kernel 2.4.20-19.9.XFS1.3.0smp Glibc 2.3.2-4.80.6 IDS 7.31UD1 I'll try a single cpu setup to see what happens.

XEON processors there are *many* different ones. What is your chipset actually? Post Kernel version, GLICB version and INFORMIX version. Generally speaking, I would test 1 CPUVP & single CPUVP setup versus 8 CPUVPs, if your XEONs are >2Ghz and have the larger L1 caches and if your memory is using >4 chips DDR If either your Southbridge, or memory, or L2 chache, or proc speed is not well integrated, then you will see that the single CPUVP setup is faster I never had a situation where a 2 CPUVP setup was anything else that slow.
