These machines seem to perform very well in terms of throughput if issues such as swap space, tuneable parameters, and device contention are considered. I am familiar with the HP9000/500 and HP9000/3xx machines and I think that there is a wealth of difference between these machines and the HP9000/8xx machines all around. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Silly opinions expressed by this author are not neccesarily the viewpoints of my employer or anybody else for that matter. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
