We're not sure what the exact cause of this problem is. We've only had
1 site that experienced this problem, but it's worth a try on your
system just to try to narrow down the problem.

There's nothing we can do at the moment to recitfy this problem. You'll
have to make a recommendation that this get changes for the next
release. Please contact the product manager. Her name is Rae
Collier/Kung and can be reached on node muzick.

Dan B, you seem to be the expert here. Can you shed some light?

| Now I understand what you can't iconify. It was the "site display" term
that through me. You have assoicated systems into groups and what your
doing is expanding the group icon. Dave B has already answered and he
is the appropriate person as he developed the C3.
In terms of performance, there really is no "recommended set of
parameters". The sluggishness caused by the vertical lines will remain
until you remove them - period - the end. When I was analyzing the
problem I found no general performance problem at all. Paging, cpu ,
I/o in general were *never* an issue. My system was by no means
saturated. Response was excellent expcet for the C3. When the guys
downstairs found that the problem had to do with vertical lines I
removed all of them from my display and the C3 response problem
disappeared. If you have veritcal lines you will need to delete them
and your going to have to accept that fact for now. The line drawing
stuff is really nothing more than a "creature feature" and in my
opinion does not effect the utility of the product - before I get
flamed by anyone, yes I agree the problem should be fixed but I can
in no way consider the product unuseable becuase you can't use vertical
lines.
REgards,

| I confirm that when you remove the vertical lines, the product is much
more responsive.
However, I have 28 systems on the screen on the "group" I'm testing and
the customer is amused that the addition of vertical lines should cause
this problem but, he's not impressed.
I have contacted Rae Kung and hopefully soething can be done about it
as everybody will benefit. The editor is also very slow but, this could
be another symptom of the same problem.

The editor doesn't have line drawing capability so I doubt it. When you
say "very slow" could you give us an example such as it takes
x seconds for some window to appear. I have never had a problem with
the editor. I can bring up the Show/Modify system window (the largest
and most time consuming to paint) and it takes 2-3 seconds to paint the
window. I have a 4000-60 workstation with 56 megs of memory.
Regs,
Dan

| It would help other people trying to use this conference as a
troubleshooting past known problems database (as it is
through the notes interface and through comet searches)
if people could avoid removing base notes even if the
problem has been fixed.
Half the benefit of notes is being able to go back and
see that someone else had the same problem as you did
and therefore see if suggested fixes are relevant to you!
