Hi All ,
        I have just gotten a second CPU for my 4100 .
        I run a few sybase Dataservers on it .
        "Top" always shows one of the dataservers running at 99% CPU .
        "monitor" always shows it running at 99 % on one CPU or
        eg: 41 % on one and 59% on the other (see below)
        I was under the understanding that sybase was a multithreaded
        program . Shouldn't it be capable of utilizing 100% of both
        CPUs if needed . ? I know it will try and run on the last CPU
        it used , so when it shows it split up over the two CPUs is
        that just lag in the display . ? If it is running on both CPUs
        why the 100% or (50% of total) limit . ?


"Monitor"

CPU: user nice sys idle wait swtch intr scall
#0 41 0 3 56 0 632 23 21495
#1 59 0 0 40 0


"top"

Cpu states: 50.1% user, 0.0% nice, 2.0% system, 47.7% idle
Memory: Real: 345M/1023M act/tot Virtual: 2694M use/tot Free: 451M

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND
16466 sybase 54 0 150M 141M run 38.7H 99.90% dataserver
  676 root 44 0 105M 87M sleep 22.8H 0.50% dataserver
