Re: Fw: Fw: bad performance on irix

I've done some meditions with timex, it uses sar(System activity register)
to take workloads, it's not very relliable, but it allow us to see how it is
been doing,  it has been taken during an execution of a like tpc-h
benchmark, it performs inserts, deletes(about 5% of the time of the
execution) and a set of 8 continous streams of 22 read only queries, notice
that it only gives idle time (not the cause of idle), notice semafores/sec
is up to 2700!!!!!!!
