I have been informed : that it is SLOWER on two ultrasparcs than on one when Informix is setup : to take advantage of them due to 'processing overhead'. We are finding out the same thing. We are running HP9000 with 2 processors on HPUX 10.10. Informix 7.0 performs terrible. Informix support said that the overhead of 'locking processors' will degrade performance. They said to set the Database up as a 'single processor'.
