Of course diagnosing performance problems without metrics can only be an
educated guess.  If you have Glance, you can get some idea of your system's
resource use; H-P usually includes a free trial copy with upgrades.  If not,
try calling H-P, or the very helpful and knowledgeable folks at Lund
Performance Solutions, for assistance (not a plug, just my experiences).

Our 927/LX's performance improved noticeably after applying patch MPEHX23A.
The one-line description in HPSWINFO.PUB.SYS is:
MPEHX23A  Patch To Correct Performance Problem On Systems With 24MB Of Memory
We have 40 Mb of memory but very low user load.

As I remember, this patch decreases the number of memory pages devoted to MPE;
the trade-off is a potential increase in paging to disc.  If my DNA-based
memory is off a bit, I am confident someone on this list will supply error
correction.

Thanks,
Scott
