Will ! Check your 'onstat -P' - if Btree percentage is too high you probably
run in to Informix with incorrect index compressing.

For 32000 buffers it's too low. Try 24. Respectively increase CLEANERS to
about 25.

Our HP D260 w/2 CPU and 512MB memory running 10.2 is dragging.
Dragging is the only word for it. It has moments of brilliance, but
otherwise just slogs along.
Our application is in 4GL and running against IDS 7.3 UC3. ONSTAT -U run
with about 35-45 active users. 90% are local users running on the HP
itself. We occasionally have a PC user here or there that connects to the
DB.
We've had it for coming close to a year now, after transitioning from a old
G50.
Running OnLine 5.x on the G50 was as fast or faster as the D260. It was
rarely slower. And it wasn't as consistently slow. And our G50 had the DB
on a single drive.
Our HP Guy(tm) seems to want to do nothing except a) throw RAM at the
problem, and/or b) throw disks at the problem. I'm not completely confident
that the problem is solely I/O as the new machine has more disks, and
better controllers. Backups are 15 minutes.
We currently have the DBMS scattered across 3 drives with rootdbs, logdbs,
and tempdbs on one drive, and the data split up across dbspace1 and
dbspace2. All of these drives are mirrored using HPs mirroring.
Informix is currently using 30000 buffers, and a SHMVIRTSIZE of 60000. It
is my understanding that HPUX doesn't like having more than 2 or 3 shared
memory segments, otherwise its performance goes way down. Now, I don't know
if this is a system limitation, or process limitation as to how many
segments the process is attached to. According to ipcs, informix owns 2,
and the system has 7 total segments.
I've followed the update statistics suggestions from the performance guide
(that was rather involved). I've also got the environment variable NO_SUBQF
= 1 set. That helped some queries out immensely.
I've only got one CPU configured. Checkpoints are running about every five
minutes, and hit for roughly 3-5 seconds (though there have been some
spikes of 10-20 seconds).
Read cache is running about 98% and the write cache around 86%.
I've included my ONCONFIG file, but stripped the extraneous comments. If
anyone can point out the GO FAST switch I need to flip, I'd appreciate the
pointer.
Any thoughts are welcome.
Thanx!

This would cause a bit of a bottleneck . . . any way to spread them out
between the three drives??

60M buffers with 512M memory . . . I'd bump this up to 64000.

7.30.uc7. Might need to configure NUMAIOVPS and disable KAIO if you're
having a problem.

LRUs and CLEANERS may need to come up a bit if you're increasing

You need
Drive 1 rootdbs + tempdbs1
Drive 2 physical log + tempdbs2
Drive 3 logical log + tempdbs3
Then stripe a datadbs across the three disks.

tcp should run on a NET VP as CPU VPs cannot block hence it spends
lots of time polling the socket rather than goes to sleep on it!
