Summary: HP9000/825 SRX slower than HP9000/340 Keywords: x11,srx,hp9000 Message-ID: Date: 23 Apr 91 22:56:50 GMT Sender: news@uhccux.uhcc.Hawaii.Edu Lines: 22 We are taking a lot of flak from our user base lately due to the poor response of our GUI. After looking into it we have found, for our most complicated form, the following statistics: System A: System B: code executes on: HP9000/835 32 Mb RAM same display server HP9000/825 16 Mb RAM, SRX HP9000/340 8 Mb RAM form "popup" time 15 seconds 5 seconds This would seem to indicate a factor of three performance penalty in using an 800 with SRX over a vanilla 340 ?? [the code reads a lot of files each time which explains the 4-5 seconds] Is there any one else out on the net with experience in this area - i.e. running X11 on an SRX display? Is there, perhaps, an X11 display server optimized for the SRX? any help, comments would be appreciated. thanks in advance rick mcgonegal CFHT Corp.
