1811.2 | More performance questions | MAASUP::PORAMBO | | Thu Jan 12 1995 14:47 | 33 |

Hello ,
In regards to Hubwatch for Windows performance, I am a novice to the
product and I am trying to determine if the performance I am seeing is
reasonable.
Running V3.1 on a 486 Laptop with 8 or 12 Meg of memory
DECHUB 900
1 DECbridge900MX
4 DECrepeater900TM's
1 Decserver 90L+
2 DECbrouter 90's
It takes approximately 6 minutes from the time I specify the agent
unitil the screen is painted with the hub layout. During the time
we are waiting, the pc's disk is active almost non-stop.
My questions are:
1) Is this a reasonable time period?
2) Would increasing memory up to 16meg make that much of a difference
even though it appears that we are spending lots of time with disk
reads?
3) Any other performance suggestions?

It all depends. If you don't mind waiting for six minutes,
then yes, it is a reasonable time period. Otherwise, not.

The disk reads are caused by lack of memory.
4 32-port repeaters safely qualifies as high port density.
