- I'm at a site running Online 5.0 on a DecStation 5000/240, Ultrix 4.2a.
- One of our other dba's wanted to know if anyone an estimated or real
- results indicating the performance loss by moving from buffered to
- unbuffered logs. My guess, if it exists, would be that the data would
- be in a form more like performance increase when using buffered logs, at
- various activity levels (10, 100, 1000 transactions per hour). If those
- numbers were like a 1% improvement for 10 tr/hr, 2% for 100, and 5% for
- 1000 transactions/hour, it would make decision making much easier.
- Any infor is appreciated.
