1883.0. "ARCinfo - NT - Performance problem" by UTROP1::ZWET (tom van der zwet) Thu Mar 06 1997 04:19

Customer Runs Alpahstation 200, ZLXp-E1, 64MB and UNIX 
Aplication is ARCinfo.

He change OS to NT and found real performance problems.
To build up a screen costs about twice the time compared 
to UNIX.

He tried to double memory but that did not change anything.
He tried to use a Matrox Millenium this also did not change anything.
He tried a 4D20 but also without any change.

When he looked at the performance monitor in NT his processor
is continuous for 100% in use.

Is this a known problem?

Thanks in advance,

1883.1Is it in the system or the application?PERFOM::HENNINGThu Mar 06 1997 06:3814
    If the customer is already looking with perfmon, might as well ask for
    a bit more info.
    
    What happens if you add in %Interrupt Time, %Privileged Time, %User
    time?
    
    How does this compare to what the Unix C shell reports if you say 
    
    	vmstat 5
    
    for system vs. user time?
    
    The version of ARCinfo on both platforms would probably also be a
    crucial piece of info.
