Does anyone have any feel for what sort of load DECmcc would place on
a larger VAX when used as a DECwindows client?
I've read the white paper on VT1000 Performance regarding X
applications by Steve Bennett. I believe he lists a table of
the approximate number of VT1000 users that would be reasonable
on various system types for a DECwrite application.
Does anyone have a feel for how MCC compares to a DECwrite application
with regard to CPU loading?
If this turns out to be a rather sizeable resource hog, it would be
good to know so that when a customer asks if MCC can/should be run
on their large system or member of a cluster, we could recommend
for or against such use, preferring to keep the application on a
workstation.
Along these lines, when you run MCC as a window client, how does this
effect licensing?
Does the license cost change based on the number of users that can
access a client, or any client for that matter?
Any help appreciated.

That's a lot of questions. I will attempt to address the easy ones
and leave things like pricing and licensing to some one else.
Right now the Iconic Map PM is not yet in external field test. Until
that time our local systems (the big ones) won't install it, so
we haven't run the type of tests and generated estimates on performance
and load yet. We have had a number of requests along these lines
for MCC in general and are working on enhancing performance as well
as getting some concrete benchmarks for the current performance.
When more information is known/available it will be published.
One thing to remember with MCC, different from applications like
DECwrite, is that depending upon what you are doing your load can
drastically differ. An example would be if you set up a large number
of alarms running while at the same time started doing a lot of
intensive work from the user interface as will (like processing
all attributes for all entities in a bridges forwarding database).
