Hi everyone,

I have a DS10 with 600mhz cpu 4mb L2 cache and 1 gig of ram. It is running
V5.1 of tru64 unix. It is only running one application. I have an app that
does data translation on this machine. When its translating data ( about 30
%) of the time it is cpu bound at 100%, otherwise the machine is idle.

This is what I get from done a vmstat, while the appl is running. Any
thoughts about, what could be done to get it to process faster, beside
getting a bigger box?

vmstat 1 10
