RE: Informix ISell Value?
Make sure the java virtual machine is getting enough memory. If you have enough hits the virtual machine is not able to clean up free memory and performance sucks.

Hi William, you seem to know what you are talking about also. Is the converse true, e.g. given enough memory and other conditions does is run well. Does the software really save man years of development time on a big site? Would you also only run it on Unix or is NT ok? Thansk very much for your reply!
