Your customer is using "ManagerSpeak". They are using the term MIPS in a different context from the computer professionals on this list. You need to be a bit of a translator from "ManagerSpeak" to "ComputerProfessional". Your customer is saying that the long running application is taking a large portion of the available processing capacity. Perhaps the system has been labeled as a 1000 MIPS system. It doesn't matter what the real capacity is, the customer got that LABEL in their head and they are using it. Now the application is taking 50% of the processing capacity each day according to some report, information or rumour that has gotten to the customer. That is how the customer can say the application is using 500 MIPS per day, It doesn't matter what the labels are. The customer is saying that the application is taking too much of the system. Fix the application. Buy a bigger machine. Whatever it takes to make the customer happy, even if you have to use their "ManagerSpeak" when you do it. /Tom Kern
