Dear managers!
My users have been complaining about slow response times when using a
certain application (ERDAS Imagine 8.3) for several months. A litte
inquiry relvealed that this might have come from virtual memory
reconfiguration done by myself upon suggestions from sys_check a few
months ago. As a matter of fact, the swap device shows a lot of activity
even when only one user is logged on and is running the software
mentioned above. The machines (DEC 3000/300 LX) are equipped with 192 MB
of memory and 1GB of swap space.
My question is: Are the recommendations delivered by sys_check to be
followed in any case? Is there a rule of thumb on how to configure a
workstation's VM as opposed to a server's VM? Or, even better, has
someone of you experienced similar difficulties with that particular
software (other packages such as PCI are still running fine)?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Will summarize!
Regards
Peter
