3029.0. "Performance decreased after upgrade to V3.0" by HTSC19::ALEXLUI () Tue Jul 20 1993 06:32

    Hi,
    
    Our client have just upgraded ALL-IN-1 V2.4 to V3.0 under VMS V5.4-2.
    They have found that the ALL-IN-1 performance decreases dramatically.
    The performance is very poor in all aspects after upgrade e.g. printing
    a document can take about 5 minutes (serveral seconds previouslly)! 
    
    The ALL-IN-1 system functions work fine. Nothing new was introduced
    after upgrade.
    
    Is it a known problem? Any idea? How could I troubleshoot this case?
    
    Any suggestion will be well appreciated!
    Thanks
    Alex

    Alex,
    
    There is an issue with the WPS-PLUS formatter in V3.0 because it now
    implements proportional spacing. That means it now chews CPU.
    
    The remainder of ALL-IN-1 should be not more than 10% slower than
    before (i.e. V2.4). Many areas (such as Sender/Fecther) are slightly
    faster.
    
    If you have a specific issue, I suggest that you post more specific
    details as to what is slow and some information on the configuration.
    
    Paul.
3029.2Define KOA$HEAP_SIZEIOSG::DAVISMark DavisTue Jul 20 1993 16:5312
    
    
       One thing that will help with the printing of large documents is to 
       define KOA$HEAP_SIZE e.g 
    
       $DEFINE/SYS/EXEC KOA$HEAP_SIZE 400000
    
       This defines the size of an area of memory used by WPS-PLUS. When 
       undefined I think it defaults to 186000. The down side to defining it 
       high is that each user will need more memory when using WPS-PLUS.
