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) > GROUP.STAT TTT Type description= Hashed, entire keys are full range of ASCII characters.

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?
