Marty,
Your first rule is a corollary to, "All generalities are wrong," isn't it? :-) Regards, Richard Schuh ________________________________ From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marty Zimelis Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 11:17 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Performance Rules of Thumb ? Lionel, My first rule of thumb is "Everyone's thumb is a different size." That is, what works for me isn't necessarily going to work for you. Using someone else's experience will work for you right up until it doesn't. I'd suggest going through the SHARE Proceedings archives and/or the linuxvm.org presentation archives (note that there's quite a bit of overlap). That should give you a bunch of recommendations from which to pick and choose.
