- I'm sitting at a model 750 with 64 meg of RAM running 9.0. It seems that
- interactive response deteriorated when we upgraded from 8.07 to 9.0.
- When typing in X11, my cursor will too frequently stop dead for a second or
- more. I am wondering if anyone else has noticed and feels similarly?
-
- 9.0, as you will recall, is the first release of HP-UX to utilize
- dynamic I/O buffers. In all past releases, I/O buffer size was determined
- at boot and would not change. HP-UX joins the many operating systems
- that allocate more RAM for I/O on the fly.
-
- I/O activity on the system is really quite minimal. I am usually the
- only user. The I/O activity mainly comes from the innd news daemon -
- some I/O, but really not that much.
-
- Anyone else running 9.0 notice it?
