I need some opinions. During my career I have done some processor schedule tuning on single processor 3000s. The current machine I am on has the tuning set this way: ------QUANTUM------- QUEUE BASE LIMIT MIN MAX ACTUAL BOOST TIMESLICE ----- ---- ----- --- --- ------ ----- --------- CQ 152 202 30 30 30 DECAY 200 DQ 170 202 30 30 30 DECAY 200 EQ 158 202 30 30 30 DECAY 200 HPCPUNAME = SERIES 995-500 I don't pretend to be any sort of expert here but this really looks odd to me. I have no access to be able to alter the tuning, and the people who are responsible for this machine say that this is the setting that HP recommended. {8-0 The response from the 3000 is at times poor, having long loader times ( > 30 secs) and even longer file access problems. There are typically 650 user processes at any given time and most are active. Does this processor tuning look OK to y'all. If so why or why not? Oddly, GLANCE does not seem to show that there are any problems. Is it possible that GLANCE has a problem in a multiple-processor machine? Chip "I-Hate-Internal-Politics" Dorman
