CPU or NET VP Class ??

Good morning Informixers. We have been going through a series of conversations with Informix technical support and I thought I would like to test all you DBA's out there as to what the general consensus is regarding the VP class that the soctcp poll thread should run on. We are using IDS 7.30.FC6 on HP-UX 11.x. We were having problems with earlier releases of the engine ( 7.24.UC7 ) where we were getting Assert Failures due to the soctcppoll thread crashing. Informix Tech Support told us that it was a know bug and we should adopt to one of the following:- 1. Reduce the number of poll threads that run 2. Increase the number of users that each poll thread services 3. change the class of VP from CPU to NET ( 4. Upgrade, of course ) As you can see from the below NETTYPE settings, we opted for a mixture of 1 & 2 but we are occasionally getting the same assert failure. NETTYPE ipcshm,1,50,NET NETTYPE soctcp,2,300,CPU # This is the new one # NETTYPE soctcp,3,200,CPU # This was the old setting NETTYPE sqlmux,,, So, okay, if we change the VP class to NET, will this not slow things down significantly for all user connections ? Can anyone point out what benefits (if any) changing the VP class will give us and which ones do you recommend... TIA as always Sean
