RE: More CPUVPs than processors

Thanks all for your responses. I might see what happens if I renice the oninit processes to make them run more often/longer. I can't help but think that one of the reasons that performance is better is that adding more CPUVPs effectively doubles the amount of CPU time IDS is getting. -----Original Message----- From: owner-informix-list@iiug.org [mailto:owner-informix-list@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Darryl Priest Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 12:36 PM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Re: More CPUVPs than processors I also had fear about breaking from the golden rule, but got much better performance on 9.40 on AIX 5.2 with 4 physical processors using up to 12 CPUVPs. I think the test, test, test mantra is appropriate here, and it's easy to do, since the CPUVPs can be added dynamically. sending to informix-list
