Young Email Address: [email protected] CPU Architecture: VAX and Alpha Version: v 6.2 Questions: I have a program which employs the use of a pseudoterminal to monitor the keystrokes of a user. Within this pseudoterminal another application is run. When the user presses a certain key I then launch another application to display a certain message, let the user navigate through this program and when they exit will return them to exactly the position they were in beforehand. Unfortunately this employs the use of 2 addition processes, one for the pseudoterminal and another for the spwaned program. If I was to merge the two programs I would reduce the number of processes but I'm would like to know what impact would that have on the performance of application that is running in the pseudoterminal, already it is slightly impaired but what would happen in the size of the executable is increased threefold ?

Application performance is affected by many factors -- working set size, available free memory, other system activity, process quotas, etc. Increasing the size of an application may or may not affect the overall performance -- though I would definitely evaluate these and other factors called out in the OpenVMS performance manual. | |||||
