Hi net.folks,
We have a customer with an AT&T 3B5 (soon to be a 3B15)
running Informix-SQL (and ESQL/C). Things get pretty slow some
times and we are considering an upgrade to Informix-TURBO. Their
literature indicates that it maintains the database in a separate
disk partition, avoiding filesystem overhead (no indirect
blocks!). In addition, they use shared memory for data buffers
to cut down on reread-before-updates.
What kind of performance boost should we see? We
particularly dislike sqlexec's long startup time. Our databases
are moderately sized (tables up to 1.5MB, will grow to perhaps
10MB). These programs are run constantly and any kind of benefit
would help.
Is this worth $10,000?
Thanks,
Steve
