The data base doesn't appear to be complex at all, and a Sun should certainly have enough horsepower to do the job. Have you talked to RTI about your problem? I have found them helpful at times. Off hand, I would say that your best move would be improving performance in the existing application. This might involve bringing in a consultant for a couple of days, or sending someone to the performance seminar and fixing the problem in-house. CMU might be able to provide some help over the net.
