The first thing I would look for are file sizing issues.  Try to identify
some of the critical and most used data files; don't forget code files,
cross references and the like.  For a quick check run GROUP.STAT against the
files.  Look for these conditions:  (1) modulo dramatically too small, (2)
bad record distribution, (3) non prime number modulos.  For code files and
other shared files, check for modulos of 1 or very small values possibly
causing lock bottlenecks.  Here are a couple small GROUP.STAT samples
illustrating the three conditions mentioned:

Too small modulo:  (numbers in left column much larger than sep x 512)

Bad record distribution:  (This one isn't too bad, but look for a few huge
groups with lots of records amongst many small, sparse groups)

Non-prime modulos:  (Won't always be a problem, but can be, as shown here)

Hope this helps.  You can find a number of tech papers about file sizing on

Subject: Performance

We are looking for some insight from anyone that has experienced performance
degradation in UV, as it relates to the OS.  We are running UV 10.0.14 on
AIX 5.1.we are having terrible 'latency' within the application.  This is a
recent conversion from D3 to UV and our client is extremely disappointed
with the performance.  We've had IBM hardware support and Universe support
in on the box, but to no avail..we are seeing high paging faults and very
highly utilized disk space.  Any thoughts or suggestions?
 
Thanks,
Kevin
