Fellow listers,

I've decided to turn to your collective wisdom to possibly get an answer to a
question that has not been answered to my satisfaction by the RC in many years.

First a bit of a background:
On occasion I use the 'showproc' command against some user sessions to see what
processes they are using.  Just the other day I noticed, to my surprise, that
the process tree of a user session was comprised by 64 processes.  The first was
their CI process, the second was an instance of 'QUICK' and the remaining were
62 instances of 'QUIZ'.  This prompts me to ask the following questions:

1.  What is the impact of all these suspended processes (Glance showed each of
them waiting on the parent) to the system in terms of memory and other
resources.   I first asked HP the same question years ago, when a vendor of an
MRP package used a similar approach to place each 'stand alone' module of their
package under a central Vplus based menu system, and never received a
satisfactory answer.

2.  Can anyone hazard a guess as to why the QUICK process is NOT 're-using' the
suspended child processes?  I came to the conclusion that these processes are
NOT being re-used by determining that the 'menu' used by this specific MPE user
does not have 62 'unique' options that lead to the invocation of QUIZ.

Paul Christidis
