Re: CACHE BUFFERS

Kevin, There is no reason to have a large number of UNIX kernel buffers if you're using OnLine. I assume it's V*d*c. The only reason you would want many buffers is if you were doing lots of file system access. Something else you might want to consider is moving to compiled 4GL. With that many users, it can make a big difference to performance. At 05:19 PM 6/18/96 GMT, K.J.

The Informix buffer settings are set up in shared memory. The SCO buffers are set up in the kernel. Never the twain shall meet! :-) >Are they related and effected by each others settings ??? Not at all. The only thing is: if they're both too big, they can cause swapping. (I think!) HTH. Hasta la vista! -- billy.wheeler@pixie.co.za
