I just received my entitlement announcement for the HP MPE/IX 7.0 bora bora release. I notice in the New Features and Technologies section that one is "IO throughput performance improvement at 440MB/sec from 32/MB sec on the current hp-pb (nio) systems" Dang! That's a rather large increase and I am surprised it was not remarked on in this group. Does anyone know how this was accomplished or was left so slow to begin with? My 918LX always seemed grossly slow parsing through LIST'd LOGTOOL entries with grep in posix, I wonder if this will help.
