Ha!   Well, we have 3 SRs open.   Jeff M will probably be looking for you.
And yay me!   Glad someone I know got this :)

I'll go read that doc too.  I hope it is newer that the pdf from 2005  :)

This is a big enough change that it needs to go somewhere.   Perhaps SP4 
release notes then?

Yea, my first problem is getting a new one going.  My second is clearing those 
up and any perf problem associated with that.  Eberhard says there is overhead 
there not using CCA functions.
It seems like that CCA rpm should have been included with SP4 as well since the 
config file shipped indicates its use.

And I wonder if this is part of the problem   Apparently the upgrade to SP4 
left us with lots of libica's

rpm -qa | grep libica
libica-2_0_2-2.0.2-0.6.3
libica-2_1_0-2.1.0-0.12.28
libica2-32bit-2.4.2-0.14.1
libica-2_0_2-32bit-2.0.2-0.6.3
libica-2_1_0-32bit-2.1.0-0.12.28
libica2-2.4.2-0.14.1
