Informix under Microport

[mike caldwell]

I am investigating implementing about a 10 megabyte database on a '386
machine using Microport Unix and Informix.  I would like to now what to
expect as far as response times for multiple users and how much memory
to put on the machine.  For decent response for Unix, I consider 4
megabytes of memory a minimum (it will run with less, but).  Does anyone
know how big the executable for Informix is on the '386?  On my mini, it
looks like about 150-200K.  Will it require seperate copies in memory
for each user or is the code shareable?  On the mini (which runs slower
than a '386) there is a noticeable drop in response time when there are
a couple of SQLs running but the drop isn't bad enough to worry about. 
This application is being moved from a 68010 and on that machine running
about 4 SQLs is unbearable and sometimes hangs the machine.  Which way
is it going to be on a '386?

If anyone has any experience with informix under microport on a '386, I
should would like to here about it.  If there is enough information I
will summarize to the net.

Thanks in Advance,
Mike Caldwell
