IDS 7.30 very slow

Hi, We are running IDS 7.30 UC2-1 on HP-UX 10.20 and have found it to be so slow that we have now reverted back to ODS 7.24. A Newera 3.11 build of a 5 file exe with the repository update enabled with 3 additional library files now takes 15 minutes as opposed to 1.5 minutes. We have narrowed the problem down to the delete phase of the repository update, and have noticed that in general delete operations do take longer with 7.30. Newera certainly does not treat the server very nicely with a repository update but the following onstat -p screen captures were done immediately after a build. Note the uptime of the server and the isamtot and lockreqs !!!
