The disks are the HP versions <snip> Hi-Barry, If your machine have only 2 cpus and you have NUMCPUVPS set to 2, then your performance could be affected. That could be the reason why your dbimport is taking such a long time. The reason being the overhead for managing multiple cpus will be more than what you could get from the 2nd cpu after other system/os tasks. -- Have a nice day Felix K.
