RE: NUMCPUVPS on a box having multiple Informix Instances
Could you give examples of kinds of CPUs that could be configured for
more than one CPU VP per hardware CPU?
thanks,
Vivek

It's more trial and error. I would not do it with a CPU speed of less than
700 Mhz or so.
Try different configurations and benchmark the results.
