In a previous post I had suggested that our system (947 NOVA) seemed to be running slower on MPEiX 5.0 than on 4.0. Several responses to my post suggested that I look at my Transient and Permanent free space settings. Having recently performed an INSTALL I know that they are set at 100% Transient. Is that bad? Would someone be kind enough to explain these two settings? Is there an optimum setting for Transient and Permanent? What other variables should be taken into consideration? Thanks! Michael E.
