Paul,

My first question would be, "what queue is MPEX  (or main.pub.vesoft) 
running in? If you could do a SHOWPROC while in the shell it might be 
helpful. Next, do you have a performance tool like Glance or SOS? If so, 
what does it say the process is spending it's time on?

Normally my answer is would be that because MPEX is a shell on top of 
the OS, there is every reason that it might be a bit slower at simple 
tasks (like listf ,2). However if you feel that the same tasks are 
slower now, then there may be a problem. Also, maybe you need to look 
beyond the Vesoft product. Is you batch processes running in the same 
time that they were before?

Good Luck,

Dave
