It's the Howmessy master data statistics that I find THE MOST useful 
- specifically, the max.blocks column.

And it's the one measurement - that if appropriately acted upon - can 
make the most dramatic impact upon application/database performance 
with minimal investment in time or money.

Sure, you can always upgrade to an N4000 for a few hardware bucks and 
probably a lot more software licensing upgrade $$$, but I like my 
quick, cheap, AND EFFECTIVE Howmessy any time.

And, BTW, for any listers out there interested in "a baker's dozen 
tips for effective system administration" - including effective use 
of Howmessy, simply wander over to www.ghrug.org and register for the 
upcoming conference.

Hope to see many of you there.

Cheers, TGIF, and Gung Hay Fat Choy!
