Re: ONLINE 6.0 vs 5.0 and other issues

Hi, Sorry I don't know about the bugs , but we have worked with six on other platforms for a while and I would suggest you go for it. The erformance is much better but depends on the way you a) set up the system ( this is a much larger task than v5.8) b) use the connection method( ie ttl,soc or shared memory ) On the bright side in v5.* it was impossible to use a large machine to the limit of cpu & disk throughput and in v6.* and above this seems no problem as most of the internals can now be expanded to above the limits of available machine throughput. Since much more is tuneable than before I exect that you will be able to see up to say 20% increase in performance if the app is running on the same box. If there is only one cpu then there is still an increase in performance but this may be due to the optimiser as much as the thread handling.
