Very interesting ... process aging can sometimes be a real problem on HPUX. The Machine Specific Notes (HPUX) for the INFORMIX-OnLine 7.23.UC1 product release does specifically claim that the process NO AGING that allows a cpu vp to stay at original priority is supported on this port and that you can use the feature set NOAGE. By default NOAGE is set to 0 (not invoked). - MARK
