My unofficial, unaffiliated with HP opinion is that I think the new
snake boxes are released with HP-UX 8.0 and that Ingres is still in
the process of validating Ingres on 8.0.  We did run the current
version of Ingres (6.3) on a snake box without problems although
there are known bugs.  Ingres 6.4 is suppose to validated on HPUX 8.0.

Performance ... didn't test it.  We didn't have a drive for the snake
box so all I/O was over NFS (not a fair test.)
